A new hotel, Hotel Indigo, will touch down at Singapore’s Changi Airport Terminal 2 in 2028.
Lee Seow Hiang, chief executive of Changi Airport Group, said the hotel concept proposed by developer OUE Limited was compelling, and promised to be the first zero-energy hotel in Singapore, “and possibly the first for an airport hotel in the world”.
The 255-room Hotel Indigo Changi Airport will include a rooftop day club, bar and infinity pool offering panoramic views of the runway, airport boulevard and skyline.
Layers of rainforest will tumble over seven storeys in a design centred around the concept of a “floating forest”.
The new hotel will complement the existing hotels on Changi Airport’s landside including YOTELAIR at Jewel Changi Airport and the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport located at Terminal 3, which is also owned and leased by OUE Group.
Hotel Indigo Changi Airport aims to achieve operational energy neutrality by incorporating sustainability features such as solar photovoltaic panels, hybrid cooling systems, naturally ventilated corridors and rainwater-harvesting technology.
