Plan Your Visit

Getting to Marina Bay Sands by MRT

Marina Bay Sands is directly connected to Bayfront MRT Station, served by both the Downtown (Blue) and Circle (Yellow) lines.

The entrance to Marina Bay Sands is just a few steps from the ticket gates, accessible via an underground walkway.

While some nearby stations, such as Marina Bay and Marina South Pier, include “Marina Bay” in their names, they are not linked to Marina Bay Sands. Be sure to get off at Bayfront Station for the most convenient access.

Floor Map and Navigation Tips

Marina Bay Sands is a vast integrated resort that goes far beyond a hotel, encompassing a shopping mall (The Shoppes), casino, musium, and theatre.

The hotel and The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are located in separate buildings on either side of a road, but are conveniently linked by an underground walkway.

The hotel consists of three towers, each with its own dedicated lifts.
It’s important to note that guests cannot move between the towers on the same floor, as there are no connecting corridors.

Before heading to Marina Bay Sands, it’s worth checking:

• whether you’re going to the hotel or The Shoppes
• which tower a rooftop restaurant or bar is in, if that’s your destination.

For your reference, in the ship-shaped hotel building, Tower 3 is located at the “bow” (front), while Tower 1 is at the “stern” (back).
