The
Plaza Premium lounge at Singapore Changi airport opened early 2015.
Description courtesy of Plaza Premium:
Located at the Departure Transit Hall of Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1, the elegant and contemporary lounge spans over 7,000-square feet, providing over 140 comfortable seats, including the lounge’s signature Honeycomb seating, welcoming all travellers at Singapore Changi Airport regardless of airline or class of travel.
Featuring spectacular airport runway scenery, guests are invited to unwind in front of the panoramic view of one of the busiest airports in the world. By adapting earth colour tones and timber materials in the design, the lounge creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere, for guests to rest, catch-up on work, or simply treat themselves with local delicacies.
The lounge is equipped with three private resting suites, accommodating one to three persons, offering a quiet enclave for those wanting to catch a quick rest before heading to their next destination; six shower rooms with amenities, providing the perfect solution for travellers who want to freshen up before their onward journey; two VIP rooms to provide privacy for special guests; as well as an exclusive area for massage and nail care services. Connectivity is key, so the lounge also provides complimentary Wi-Fi throughout and plenty of plug sockets for tablets, laptops and mobile phones.
A great emphasis on food and beverage is introduced as a part of Plaza Premium Lounge’s brand strategy to offer a refined airport experience. The new lounge introduces live cooking stations, where guests can enjoy an interactive airport dining experience which chefs prepare favourite local dishes upon request. Delectable selections at its all-day dining spread include signature dishes such as Singapore Laksa, classic Singapore Chicken Rice and The Green Market Temaki. Complimentary hot and chilled beverages are at guests’ disposal whilst a separate bar area serves specialty coffees, juices, beers and wines. The distinct aroma of freshly baked home-made chocolate chip cookies will tempt you to pick one off the counter as you walk by!
Overall ratings
Ambience is good, but the service of the food counter is sloppy. One couldn’t really speak English and she spoke in a condescending tone. My wife also got slightly chided for using the toilet while it was cleaning. It’s my wife fault understandably but it’s unnecessary to treat her as such especially at a lounge at world class airport.
