    12 hour layover in Changi - which hotel to pick?

    Two days ago I used IHG points for two nights in Changi Crowne Plaza. I was allocated a "cell" in the newer Jewel wing. The "cell" is long and narrow the width of the bed plus walk past space. Layout is unconventional; from the entry door; wardrobe; desk/workspace; king bed; couch & coffee...

Located on North Tce it's a central location. Careful you don't book...
