World's first Aerotel transit hotel opens

Plaza Premium Group has elevated airport hospitality with the launch of its signature Aerotel Singapore, the world’s first luxury transit hotel inside Changi Airport.

Renowned for setting industry benchmarks in premium airport services and lounges, Hong Kong-based Plaza Premium Group introduced Aerotel Singapore, its flagship property, at Singapore Changi Airport. Since its debut, the brand has expanded internationally, with new Aerotel locations now operating in London, Abu Dhabi, and other global hubs, reflecting the group’s commitment to reimagining the airport accommodation experience.

Strategically positioned on Level 3 within Terminal 1, adjacent to Boarding Gate D41, the 70-room Aerotel Singapore stands as a trailblazer in the realm of transit hotels. It is celebrated as the only airside hotel worldwide to offer guests an exclusive outdoor swimming pool, rejuvenating Jacuzzi, and a vibrant poolside bar—all within the secure transit zone. The Aerotel concept, launched in late 2015, was designed to deliver refined sanctuaries for travelers seeking comfort and style between flights.

“Aerotel Singapore was conceived to exceed the evolving needs of international travelers,” said Mr. Song Hoi-see, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium Group. “Our guests enjoy seamless check-in, wellness amenities, and flexible booking—ensuring a truly restful stopover at Changi Airport.”

The property merges premium amenities with accessible rates, making it a sought-after retreat for discerning transit guests. Its presence has contributed to boosting both passenger satisfaction and airline occupancy rates, reinforcing Changi’s reputation as an elite global transit hub.

With interiors featuring exposed brick, elegant timber elements, and a palette of soothing greys and aquas, Aerotel Singapore cultivates a tranquil ambiance. Thoughtful lighting, soundproofing, and bespoke furnishings create a sophisticated yet inviting environment. Select rooms offer sweeping views of the runway, with the world’s largest aircraft, including the Airbus A380, frequently in view.

High-speed WiFi and a state-of-the-art gym are complimentary for all guests, catering to both business and wellness-focused travelers.

Open 24/7, Aerotel Singapore provides flexible hourly packages, with rates starting from SGD55 for a minimum six-hour stay. This model ensures maximum convenience for travelers with diverse layover schedules, maintaining its position as a leader in the transit hotel sector.
