LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – Media
OutReach – 27 March 2019 -�Crowne Plaza^® Changi Airport has been awarded the World’s Best Airport
Hotel for the fifth successive year in the World Airport Awards. The
prestigious award was announced by Skytrax on 27 March 2019 at an award ceremony in London.

 

Globally,
the Crowne Plaza brand provides upscale accommodation at 430 hotels and nearly 60 Crowne Plaza
properties are located at top airport locations including Amsterdam’s Schiphol
and Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airports. Specially designed to help business
travellers to recharge, Crowne Plaza champions a better way of business travel
for modern business productivity.

 

Crowne Plaza® hotels help our guests feel
energised and productive. The new Worklife Room is designed with distinctive
yet flexible zones that help travellers work, relax and recharge, all in the
comfort of their guest rooms. Our Sleep Advantage® program ensures our guests
get a great night’s sleep to power through their day. Intuitively designed, the
Plaza Workspace is a collection of flexible spaces that encourages guests to
work, collaborate and socialise, all within our inspiring spaces. Excellent
guest experiences are further enhanced by the new service (Dare to Connect)
brought to life by our dedicated hotel teams.

 

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is located
with seamless connectivity to Changi Airport. With
Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) opening this year, the hotel can cater to
travellers who will have more reason for a longer stayover, as well as local
visitors seeking meeting venues or a relaxing staycation — thanks to the
variety of new lifestyle offerings available. In addition to deluxe rooms
offering unrivalled views of Jewel, guests can enjoy room packages including
tickets to Jewel attractions once fully open.

 

Mr Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax said: “We congratulate Crowne Plaza Changi Airport
for their success in winning this important guest satisfaction award for 2019,
being even more notable that this is the fifth consecutive year they have
scooped this award. Around the world the airport hotel market has become
increasingly competitive in recent years, for the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport
to maintain their leadership is a remarkable acknowledgement of the high
standards they provide their guests.”

 

Bruno Cristol, General Manager, Crowne Plaza® Changi
Airport said, “We are delighted to be
recognised once more as the World’s Best Airport Hotel; this much-coveted
accolade is the testament to our commitment towards service excellence. I’d
like to thank our team for their tireless dedication championing a better way
of business travel. On behalf of the hotel, I also want to thank our guests for
their continuous invaluable support — we look forward to welcoming them again.”
