If you are looking for a hotel in Singapore near Singapore Changi Airport or a getaway from Singapore without living Singapore, Changi Village Hotel by Far East Hospitality may be a great hotel for you. a The hotel has a tranquil location in the tree-lined village of Changi, and is just 15 minutes from the Singapore Changi Airport. You can easily reach the hotel by taxi or hotel's shuttle bus operating to and from Changi Airport. The hotel is situated adjacent to the Changi Golf Club and the Changi Civil Service Club and is surrounded by nature trails. It is also just a short stroll away from Changi Beach Park and the Changi Sailing Club.

Changi Village Hotel also serves well as a weekend staycation hotel. For those who would like to getaway from urban Singapore without leaving Singapore, the hotel has a weekend stay promotions. Hotel offers spacious rooms by Singapore standards and very nice two swimming pools on the ground floor and on the roof. Prices starting from 142 USD per night are also reasonable for a 4-star hotel in Singapore. Please note that this hotel is quite far away from city center and if you would like to travel to city center as a tourist a lot, the location will not be very convenient. If you take Taxi/Cab directly from city to hotel, it will gonna cost around $25+ SGD (you can take taxi up to Pasir Ris MRT Station and take a long train ride to city). But if you are looking for a cosy hotel away from the busy town the hotel is just for you.

The hotel is thus a great alternative for those who (a) would like to stay near Singapore Changi Airport, Changi Business Park or Singapore Expo, (b) residents of Singapore looking for a nice staycation hotel or (c) visitors to Singapore who like to stay away from the urban Singapore.

On the other side of the road there are several restaurants and hawker centers to taste local food. If you are adventurous, you can take a bumboat from Changi Point Ferry Terminal  to Pulau Ubin. Pulau Ubin. Pulau Ubin is a small island just in the north east of  Singapore. Unlike Sentosa, which is highly developed with resorts, golf courses, casinos and high end condos, Pulau Ubin is largely underdeveloped and accomodates the last kambung (village) in Singapore. It is a great place to get away from crowded Singapore island, cycle and witness how Singapore was in the past.

Hotels near Singapore Changi Airport

The nearest hotel to Singapore Changi Airport is 5-Star Crowne Plaza Hotel Changi Airport which is linked to Terminal 3. The hotel is closed to Singapore Expo and Changi Business Park, so may be a perfect business hub for many. It is also an ideal for stopovers or for travelers with early connections, it may not be for everyone or every budget. 4-Star Capri by Fraser - Changi City may be a better alternative for those who want to be very near to Changi Business Park and prefer an accommodation hybrid of a hotel and serviced apartment. This brand new hotel, which was opened in 2012, provides rooms with with kitchen and many business oriented facilities for those busy guys who do not have time to go out of the hotel.

Both Crowne Plaza Hotel and Capri by Fraser - Changi City are quite outside the city so if you wish to be both near Changi Airport and experience a little bit of Singapore, or you simply do not want to pay a small fortune to an expensive 5 or 4 Star Singapore hotel, there are many other alternatives.

You should look for a hotel in the East, between city center and Changi Airport. If you really want to have a good taste of Singapore, Singapore cuisine and night life, you should book a hotel in the Katong Area.

The most ideally located hotel, in my opinion, is Santa Grand Hotel East Coast on the East Coast Road. The hotel is only 10.2 km from the city center and around 8-10 km away from the airport. But the location advantage comes from its neighborhood. It is right next to one of the most colorful nightlife spots of Singapore : Joo Chiat Road. It is also on the best part of Katong and East Coast Road in terms of great local dining alternatives nearby (the road is full off local restaurants) which is cheaper and much better than the ones in Singapore downtown. The road is home to some of Singapore's best shophouses and Katong is best known for its wonderful eating houses specializing in Peranakan cuisine (the area was formerly dominated by wealthy Straits Chinese families). The place is one of the most beautiful and authentic part of Singapore.

Less than 500 meters away, there is another pleasant hotel named Le Peranakan Hotel. This boutique hotel in Singapore is near the East Coast Park beach and the famous local eateries of Katong. As for Santa Grand Hotel, just steps away from the hotel, there are a myriad of excellent restaurants to choose from. And as we have said above, the area where Le Peranakan Hotel is situated is also one of the best area for nightlife in Singapore. Le Peranakan Hotel single rooms are priced around 80 USD per night but in hotel price comparison sites like HotelsCombined.com, you can find around 60 USD per night.

If you want to be near the airport and away from the busy Singapore city life, Village Hotel Changi by Far East Hospitality provides a tranquil location in the tree-lined village of Changi, just 15 minutes from the Singapore Changi Airport. The hotel is situated adjacent to the Changi Golf Club and the Changi Civil Service Club and is surrounded by nature trails.
