The first international brand-name hotel is being built at Changi Airport - right next to the new Terminal 3. The S$90 million Crowne Plaza Changi Airport will open its doors in late March.
The new hotel will boast more than 300 rooms, featuring Asian yet multicultural design concepts. A Singapore design company is working on the hotel's concept, which will have a unique combination.
Mark Winterton, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, said, "What we want to achieve is to take elements of both a city centre hotel and a resort hotel, which hasn't been seen at an airport before."
Thus, some rooms will have elements of a tropical theme. The hotel will also house courtyards with rainforest gardens and a shaded pool.
Mr Winterton said, "All the meeting rooms are designed like a jungle (with a) tropical feel." The hotel is mainly targeting the corporate market and is working closely with the Singapore Expo and Changi Business Park.
Its location - right next to the new Terminal 3 - is also expected to be a big draw.
The hotel connects to the MRT and Changi people mover system.
There is also an added convenience for guests - two linkways connect both the Departure and Arrival Halls directly to the hotel.
The hotel expects to welcome its first customers in March next year. - CNA/ms
