Crowne Plaza Changi Airport unveils new look

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport has completed an enhancement with new rooms, Allora, an all-day Italian dining destination, an additional function room, a Club Lounge and a revitalised fitness centre.

The design concept aims for a tranquil oceanic atmosphere. The furniture, crafted from a mix of natural wood finishes, brings a sense of warmth and cosiness, complemented by a colour palette that blends beachy tones with ocean shades. Light grey sofas and navy blue and yellow accents create a contemporary and inviting atmosphere.

Bruno Cristol, GM, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport and Area GM, IHG Hotels & Resorts in Singapore, said that the changes aim to cater to the needs of the modern business traveller, "whose concept of business travel extends beyond work to encompass a blend of work and life". 

"As the world’s leading airport hotel, it’s vital that we continue to adapt and elevate the guest experience. We look forward to maintaining our best-in-class position and welcoming guests from around the world,” he said.

Key changes include:

Additional Premier rooms and suites

Twelve new guest rooms bring the room inventory to 575, three with direct pool access. 

The suites feature a walk-in wardrobe, spacious living and dining areas, a convenient kitchenette with an induction stove and a generously-sized bathroom. Each bathroom has a bathtub, a separate standing shower, and a vanity area.

Revamped all-day dining restaurant

Now relocated to Level 1, the new Italian restaurant - Allora, helmed by Executive Chef Stefano Sanna, combines the energy of Milan with the coastal charm of Southern Italy. The Northern section draws inspiration from Tuscany's hills and medieval cities, featuring a central metallic mosaic pizza oven and industrial Milanese elements. Outdoor spaces are adorned with striped parasols, suggesting a Southern Italian seaside promenade. With a seating capacity of 264, Allora's spaces include a dining room, lobby lounge and bar, and an alfresco terrace.

Allora currently serves contemporary Italian cuisine and is slated to become the only Italian restaurant offering weekend brunch buffets in the Changi Airport area from Q2224. The buffet will feature handcrafted pizzas, artisanal pastas, and antipasti. 

New meeting spaces

The previous all-day dining space is now a 352-sq m multifunction room, Camellia. This venue is equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, and expands the hotel's capacity for hosting meetings and events. 

Transformed Club Lounge and Fitness Centre

The former bar space has been transformed into a cosy, contemporary Club Lounge while the fitness centre has been refitted with the latest equipment.
