Hotel Review: Crowne Plaza Changi Airport (Pool Suite)

I stayed in the crème de la crème of the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport during my latest visit in August - the Pool Suite with Club Access. King Suites are 72sqm in size and comes with a powder room for your guests, a living area which doubles as a meeting area, a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe as well as an extremely luxurious bathroom (with two sinks nonetheless)!
