SIN Transit and Airport Hotels

[sfskier]

I have a 9 hour layover in SIN and would like to stay at the airport. The transit hotel web sites indicate they are before baggage claim. Since we are not on a single itinerary, not sure they will check my bag all the way through to DPS (DEN->SIN on UA; SIN->DPS on SQ). Can anyone confirm I can't get my bag and stay at the Transit hotel? If so, what are the other hotel options at SIN?

UA & SQ should as *A carriers be able to check thru. Even if they refuse, the transit hotel is a viable alternative. It is before immigration and after your stay just go either to the transit desk and ask for the bag to be transferred, or go thru immigration and pick up your waiting bag at lost and found. Do not exit customs because your bag is in the customs area. Once you have your bag, exit and go to the appropriate terminal for check-in.

Transit hotel response has improved recently so send them an e-mail with arrival times. Remember the actual date you will be arriving for your reservation.

Otherwise, if you do not want to use the transit hotel which is IMO perfectly fine, then the other option is the Crowne Plaza adjacent to Terminal 3.
