Changi Airport Group has awarded a tender to OUE Limited for the lease and development of a “zero-energy hotel” at Changi Airport Terminal 2.
The new Hotel Indigo Changi Airport is expected to be fully operational by 2028. It will feature 255 rooms and modern facilities, including an infinity pool with panoramic views of the runway, airport boulevard and skyline.
In addition to enhancing passenger convenience, the facility aims to achieve operational energy neutrality by including sustainable features such as solar photovoltaic panels, hybrid cooling systems, naturally ventilated corridors and rainwater-harvesting technology.
These initiatives plan to make it the first “zero-energy hotel” in Singapore.
The hotel will be located landside, with a connection to Terminal 2 via a linkway. It will join two other landside hotels at Changi Airport: Crowne Plaza Changi Airport and YOTELAIR Singapore Changi Airport.
This development reflects the ongoing rebound that the tourism sector in Singapore has seen since the pandemic.
“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. With travel demand continuing to soar and passenger traffic growing beyond pre-Covid levels, the new hotel will elevate the hospitality offerings at Changi Airport. It will serve our visitors well with its differentiated facilities and convenient access to T2. We congratulate OUE on being awarded the tender and look forward to a close partnership in the coming years to bring the idea for Hotel Indigo Changi Airport to life.”
