Singapore Changi Airport has unveiled plans to open a 225-room, zero-energy hotel connected to Terminal 2.
Hotel Indigo Changi Airport, a subsidiary of IHG, will be developed by OUE.
The hotel will make use of solar panels, hybrid cooling systems, naturally ventilated corridors and rainwater harvesting technology. Its seven floors will follow a floating forest theme with layers of rainforest and hanging epiphyte plants.
Hotel Indigo Changi Airport is scheduled to open by 2028 and will feature a rooftop day club and an infinity pool overlooking the runway. The airport currently has two other landside hotels: the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport and YOTELAIR Singapore Changi Airport. It also has two other transit hotels: the Ambassador Transit Hotel in Terminals 2 and 3 and the Aerotel Singapore in Terminal 1.
“The hotel concept proposed by OUE was the most compelling and promises to be the first zero-energy hotel in Singapore, and possibly the first for an airport hotel in the world,” said Lee Seow Hiang, CEO of Changi Airport Group.
