The Singapore Tennis Open returns in September 2026 as a newly upgraded WTA 500 tournament — the only event of its tier in Southeast Asia and the opening stop of the WTA’s Asian Swing. With over US$1.2 million in prize money on the line, some of the world’s top-ranked women’s players will battle it out across seven days of main-draw action at The Kallang.

If you’re flying in for the tennis, where you stay matters. Hotels inside the Sports Hub precinct are limited and sell out fast during major events. The smarter play? Stay in one of Singapore’s heritage neighbourhoods just one or two MRT stops away — and experience the city like a local between matches.

That’s exactly where Heritage Collection (hericoll.com) comes in.
