New Singapore Airlines Lounges (Including The Private Room) at Changi Airport (T3) to Complete by Mid-2021
Singapore Airlines has just officially announced that planned renovation works (more than SGD 50 million investment) for both the SilverKris (inclusive of the First Class Lounge as well as The Private Room) and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Changi Airport Terminal 3. Renovations are due to commence in August 2019 and they are expected to complete by mid-2021 - this redevelopment project will see an overall 30% increase in space and it will feature more open spaces as well as upgraded facilities.

Singapore Airlines has engaged a renowned hospitality designer, Hirsch Bedner Associates (a renowned hospitality designer) for this project the construction process will be carried out over four phases - it will start from the Business Class Lounge, followed by the First Class Lounge and The Private Room, and finally the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Customers affected by renovation works will be invited to temporary lounges to ensure minimal disruption during this period.
For the ultimate bespoke lounge experience, Suites and First Class customers can look forward to a brand new The Private Room and First Class Lounge, with carefully designed luxurious and intimate seating spaces suitable for both work and rest. The First Class Lounge will continue to feature a flagship bar, and The Private Room, a full-service fine dining section within the lounge. Customers can look forward to an enhanced epicurean journey with fresh and seasonally curated dining offerings, on top of the perennial local favourites.
The Business Class Lounge will be expanded and feature four distinct zones that cater to travellers with different needs. Customers with a short transit can have a light snack in a relaxed café setting, while those with more time to spend may explore a full selection of Asian and international cuisines in the dining hall, including live stations that will offer signature local delights.
A highlight of the new Business Class Lounge will be a full service bar that doubles up as a self service breakfast station in the mornings. Productivity pods will also be available for customers who need a discreet corner to catch up on work, while a rest area with chaise lounges will be provided for customers to catch some shut-eye before their flight. The KrisFlyer Gold Lounge will double in capacity and include dedicated working spaces, as well as larger al fresco seating and dining areas. The lounge will also be equipped with restrooms and showers.
Business Class passengers now enjoy complimentary inflight Wi-Fi when traveling on Cathay Pacific.
