The short answer
There are few hotels immediately nearby. Stay in Chinatown, Outram or Tiong Bahru: all are a short ride away on the East–West Line and far better placed for the rest of your trip.
Walk back after the show

Booking notes for a concert night
- Rooms near a stadium sell out and re-price when a big tour date is announced — book before the general ticket sale if you can.
- Check the hotel’s late check-in policy: a show that ends near midnight plus a post-show supper puts you back well after most reception desks quieten down.
- Being one MRT stop further out is usually cheaper and barely slower — the queue at the venue’s own station is the bottleneck, not the ride.
