Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

With our overnight layover, we went for the on-airport hotel option rather than heading into the city. From the customs exit, we started following the exceedingly clear signage that led us past this kopitiam with a name that made my inner 12-year-old chuckle.



But the signage was great and it was no trouble finding the hotel at the other end of Terminal 3.




This entrance is from the arrivals level of the terminal; there’s also one from the road.




The lobby was very nice—much nicer than I’d expect for a Crowne Plaza in the US—but dark enough that it was tough to get any clear photos.





The room we got was a premier room up on the 8th floor. Way nicer than I was expecting and also an upgrade from what I’d booked.







We didn’t have a whole lot of time after a late arrival and before an early departure, but we went for a nice swim in the gorgeous pool and then called it a night.





The review

Way nicer than I expected. Not sure if it was worth paying twice as much as the transit hotels, but it still left us with the easy option of going into the city had we had more energy to do so. Next time I’ll probably try the transit hotels, but this was still a great option.
