    But that means the view of the tarmac would be blocked.

        Just walked from T1 to T3 so went right past this, and it isn't pretty.

          Do the rooms offer views of the tarmac and runway? Or is the white patterns on the exterior meant to prevent people from looking out onto the airport? I can imagine that that tall building would give nice airport overviews

            It reminds me of the new All Seasons Sathorn in Bangkok. Although that one's all straight and not curving in and out..

            Must be a new architectural trend?!

              I was on the cab on the way home after returning from Tokyo, and the Taxi uncle kept complaining that the Hotel is terribly ugly. I guess thats one vote down the bucket...

                Does anyone else have clearer pictures, especially of the other side? My friend claims the other side is much prettier?
                Help make this article a better one!

                  No, it is actually even uglier.

                    Btw, any links where I can find real pictures of Crowne Plaza Changi ? Googled that, and search result was disappointing.

                            The building looks like some windowless jail made up of bricks from far at night...

                                I saw the photos of the building and didn't think much of it - however the other day when arriving at T2 I had a good drive past it & in my view it was actually quite an impressive building up close - the photos don't do it justice. I actually like it!
