These transit hotels are available in Terminal 1, 2, 3, and the CIP Terminal, as well as in Jewel, which is one of Changi Airport’s main attractions.

At this hotel, passengers can book rooms for an hourly duration up to a maximum of 24 hours, depending on their travel needs. The hotel offers various room types, from Solo Rooms for single travelers to Double Plus Rooms and Family Rooms suitable for couples and families.
Terminal 2
Ambassador Transit Hotel in Terminal 2 of Changi Airport is an ideal choice for passengers wishing to rest without having to go through immigration procedures. Located on Level 3 of the Departure Transit Lounge South, this hotel offers maximum comfort for travelers with long layovers or early morning flights.
Ambassador Transit Hotel provides various room options with flexible rental durations, starting from 3 hours up to a maximum of 24 hours, depending on each passenger’s transit time.
The rooms are modest but clean and comfortable, equipped with proper beds, private bathrooms, work desks, and televisions. The quiet atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the airport’s public areas, makes this hotel suitable for recharging energy in the middle of a journey.
Terminal 3
In addition to Terminal 2, Ambassador Transit Hotel also has another branch located in Terminal 3, precisely in the Transit Lounge North, Mezzanine Level, directly opposite Transfer B and near the airport cinema. Easy access from all terminals via the Skytrain and pedestrian pathways makes it very practical for transit passengers.
Ambassador Transit Hotel in Terminal 3 offers similar facilities as its counterpart in Terminal 2, namely accommodating passengers with stay services ranging from 3 to 24 hours.
Jewel
YOTELAIR Singapore is a modern capsule hotel located inside Jewel Changi Airport, precisely on Level 4 (4th floor), in the Landside Area. This hotel is specifically designed for travelers needing a short rest, especially during transit, waiting for early morning flights, or arriving late at night in Singapore.
YOTELAIR is located outside the immigration area, making it accessible to anyone, whether international passengers or local visitors. Its location is highly strategic; situated between Terminals 1, 2, and 3, and reachable on foot through connecting pathways within the airport.
The main advantage of YOTELAIR is its hourly rental system (minimum of 4 hours), making it highly flexible and economical for short-term needs. Flexible check-in and check-out times are available 24 hours a day, as well as the option to use shower cabins before the next flight.
CIP Terminal
Apart from Terminal 1, 2, 3, and the Jewel area, Changi Airport also offers hotel options within the Commercially Important Person Terminal or CIP Terminal area.
The CIP Terminal itself is an exclusive terminal at Changi Airport designed specifically to provide premium and private services for high-profile passengers, including executives, important figures, and travelers seeking a quieter and more personal travel experience.
The exclusive hotel in this area is the JetQuay Sleeping Suite. With four beautiful suites, all offering garden views, JetQuay Suite is available for stays of 6 hours, which can be extended upon request. The package includes shower facilities, meals, and access to the lounge.
However, it’s important to note that because JetQuay is located outside the transit area, passengers will need to go through immigration first. Therefore, this service is suitable only for those who have a visa or visa-free entry to Singapore, especially if they have a long layover or wish to stay overnight before their next flight.
Crowne Plaza
Crowne Plaza is a five-star hotel strategically located in Terminal 3 of Changi Airport.
