The Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore has once again been recognized as the best airport hotel in the world, winning the prestigious title for the 11th consecutive year at the Skytrax’s 2026 World Airport Awards. These awards, often likened to the Oscars of the airport industry, are based on extensive customer satisfaction surveys conducted across more than 550 airports worldwide.
Distinguishing itself from traditional airport hotels, the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport offers a unique aviation-themed experience for guests. Collaborating with Kiztopia, the hotel features family suites inspired by aviation, providing interactive and playful spaces for children to enjoy during their stay.
In addition to its thematic accommodations, the hotel boasts a variety of curated experiences under the Crowne Plaza Social program. From hands-on cooking classes to cocktail sessions, guests can immerse themselves in a range of activities without leaving the hotel premises.
For those seeking relaxation, the Crowne Plaza Changi offers wellness-focused Daily Rituals aimed at helping guests unwind and rejuvenate. Moreover, the hotel is the first in Singapore to provide in-room NuCalm sleep technology, utilizing neuroscience techniques for stress relief, improved sleep quality, enhanced focus, and overall well-being.
Not only does the hotel excel in amenities and experiences, but its prime location within Singapore Changi Airport provides guests with direct access to all terminals and the renowned Jewel Changi Airport complex, eliminating the need for shuttle services.
General manager Greg Gublani expressed gratitude for the award, emphasizing the hotel’s commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and enriching guest experiences. Apart from the Crowne Plaza Social activities and Daily Rituals, the hotel aims to create memorable journeys for visitors through its innovative offerings.
Singapore Changi Airport, host to the award-winning hotel, retained its position as the world’s best airport for 2026, followed by Incheon International Airport in Seoul, Tokyo International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, and Narita International Airport in Greater Tokyo.
