*Go to The Arrival lounge to take a shower upon landing (if you have access: OWE, CX DM or CX GO, J or F tickets), you can freshen up and then no big deal if you can't check in until 1 or 2pm
*Go to the Plaza Premium lounge upon landing to take a shower, if you have access
*Just go to the hotel, drop your bags off at the bellhop, and do something for a few hours until they'll let you check in. Usually hotels will let you use their gym / spa even if they won't let you check-in yet. You can usually shower here. If they won't permit that, AND you don't have arrival lounge access, AND you won't pay for an extra night, it's really not the end of the world....
*Or, pay for a hotel the night before, if you really need to sleep immediately upon landing
