When heading to a travel destination by plane, the time spent on a layover can often feel like an inconvenience. Many travelers prefer direct flights to their destination, and even when a layover is inevitable, they tend to minimize the duration of their stay at the connecting airport. But what if you could turn the layover into an adventure, experiencing not just your final destination, but the stopover city as well?
Take, for instance, popular honeymoon spots like the Maldives or Bali, which are often seen as tropical getaways with a singular focus on relaxation. While these destinations offer plenty of rest and rejuvenation, they can sometimes feel a bit repetitive. Imagine adding a dash of city exploration in a dynamic destination like Singapore to create the perfect fusion of relaxation and excitement. This unique travel recipe is not only possible, but easily achievable with a stop at the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel.
Part of the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Crowne Plaza Changi Airport offers more than just an airport hotel experience – it provides a luxurious gateway to Singapore, offering both convenience and comfort. Located directly connected to Terminal 3 of Singapore Changi Airport, it’s a mere five-minute walk from the arrival gate to the hotel lobby. And for departing travelers, the check-in area is conveniently located on the second floor, allowing guests to enjoy the comfort of the hotel right up until departure.
Singapore’s efficient immigration system further elevates the convenience of layovers. With the SG Arrival Card submitted online before arrival, travelers can bypass traditional customs procedures, making the process swift and smooth. This makes Singapore a layover-friendly destination, and staying at the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport allows you to skip the hassle of transporting your luggage to the city. Whether you’re enjoying a brief layover or a longer stopover, the hotel’s proximity to the airport makes it an ideal base for both short and extended stays.
The hotel’s exceptional accessibility to the airport means that many rooms offer spectacular views of the runway, making it a particularly attractive option for aviation enthusiasts. For families traveling with children, staying here will offer a memorable and unique experience for the little ones, who will be delighted by the sight of planes taking off and landing just outside the window.
Couples will also appreciate the romantic ambiance of the runway-view rooms, which face westward, offering stunning sunset views.
The 36 sqm studio-style rooms are generously sized, offering plenty of room for both relaxation and adventure. And the bathroom also offers a spectacular runway view, so you can enjoy a soak in the bathtub while watching planes take flight – a truly unique experience.
On the hotel’s third floor, the outdoor pool offers a refreshing break with views of the control tower, providing a perfect blend of city energy and relaxation.
For food enthusiasts, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, Allora, on the ground floor is a must-visit. Known for its authentic Italian pizzas, chef Vincenzo, recognized as one of the “World’s Top 100 Pizza Chefs,” brings a slice of Italy to Singapore with every bite.
Singapore Changi Airport is more than just an international hub; it is a destination in itself. With a wide array of services, shopping, and cultural experiences, the airport feels like an exciting travel destination rather than a simple transit point.
One of its most iconic features is the Jewel Rain Vortex, a 40-meter-tall indoor waterfall that creates an enchanting atmosphere. Jewel Changi is an experience that no traveler should miss, and it’s easily accessible from the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel.
Directly connected to the airport’s departure hall on the hotel’s second floor, guests can easily step into Jewel Changi and explore its many attractions. In addition to the world-class shopping and dining options available within Jewel, guests can also enjoy the spectacular light shows at the Rain Vortex. The light shows are held every evening, with two performances on weekdays at 8 PM and 9 PM, and three shows on weekends at 8 PM, 9 PM, and 10 PM.
Whether you’re embarking on a short stopover or a longer layover adventure, the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel offers an effortlessly seamless and enriching experience that makes the most of your time in Singapore.
