Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

Take it from the Travelerintransit, traveling is fun, only when everything goes smoothly. I've been really lucky so far, i haven't got mugged, or lost my documents or baggage (not gonna jinx it). The crappiest experience was the missed connection when i flying out from JFK to SIN and was stucked in Dubai for a night. And that Emirates transit hotel was the worst ever. Ok i exaggerate, it was the only hotel that i had to put up at while in transit BUT it was in the middle of nowhere (in the desert) and there weren't proper facilities or decent restaurants even and it was certainly no where close to the airport. I should have just stayed at the airport instead of taking up Emirates offer. Darn!

Well, speaking of transit and airport hotels, i believe it would be hard to beat Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel. Well i've not had the opportunity to experience the hotel while in transit (Singapore is home anyway) but i've always thought about how comfortable it must be. Pretty stoked that i'd be checking CP out later this month, thanks to the pretty ladies at CP. :)
Well i love Changi Airport and if there's any airport that i'm ok with being stranded at, it'd be Changi. It's safe, clean and there are many rest stations and lounges to refresh yourself if it were a short delay. However, for longer waits, i'd rather a hot tub, a nice bed and a good meal before carrying on with my journey and Crowne Plaza provides all of that. Plus it's connected to Terminal 3 at Changi Airport via a link bridge. CP can also escort you from the aerobridge to hotel with their VIP Meet-and-Greet Service, not bad hur?
Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is more a business hotel with a resort ambience. On my previous visits, i liked how it's quiet and tranquil indoors but tropical sunshiney outside. 

Courtyard gardens, a landscaped pool area and peaceful garden views from the Lobby Lounge or al fresco courtyard. I don't think any other airport hotels offer this environment.
Now this is what i wanna check into when i'm already pissed about my trip disruption. Comfortable beds and spacious modern bathrooms with good shower amenities. Not some crappy budget hotel that doesn't even provide toothbrushes.

Food options are plenty. Cocktails at bar'75, Cantonese dining at Imperial Treasure or buffet from Azur (read review here). They are plenty more F&B outlets in Changi Airport too so you'd be spoilt for choice.
Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is offering a Great Value Package from now till 30 April 2014. The package offers travellers breakfast for up to 2 pax and $40 dining credit per night booked. Credits are non-cumulative and only for use in bar '75, Lobby Lounge and Azur (not for in-room dining). If you are going to be in transit, or you just need a pretend getaway, check them out at this link: http://goo.gl/n7PgF1

I'll be back with my report on Crown Plaza Changi Airport after my stay. Stay tuned!
