This will be the third landside hotel at the airport, and it will be built above the coach stand at the southern end of the newly reopened T2.
Landside refers to the areas of the airport that are before immigration clearance and accessible to the public.
The two current landside hotels there are the 130-room Yotelair Singapore Changi Airport in Jewel, which opened in 2019, and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, which is next to T3 and has 563 rooms. It opened in 2008.
There are four airside hotels catering to transit passengers at T1, T2, T3 and the JetQuay terminal, which serves commercially important passengers.
Airport operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) had called a tender in August to develop the new landside hotel at T2, and is slated to award the contract by April 2024.
In a tender document seen by The Straits Times, CAG said adding a third landside hotel will serve increased tourist flows around the Changi precinct, for which it is working with the relevant government agencies to develop tourism products.
The operator did not provide more details about these new tourism products.
According to the tender document, the new T2 hotel has to be distinct from the two existing landside hotels, targeting new customer segments.
It should meet the standards of a three to four-star hotel and have a "wow factor" commensurate with the "world-class image and standing" of Changi Airport.
