Singapore Airlines’ flagship SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold lounges at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 made their debuts at a couple of years ago following a SG$50 million re-design, upgrade and expansion project and to this day, it remains one of the leading lounge precincts in the world.
The Private Room, the First Class section of the SilverKris Lounge, the Business Class section of the SilverKris Lounge, and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge can collectively accommodate around 1,150 customers within their 6,100 square-metres (translating to 30% more seats and space than before) and of them are unique in many ways.
Singapore Airlines’ Chief Executive Officer, Goh Choon Phong, said the airline created a sanctuary that has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the comfort and convenience of diverse groups of travellers and customers can enjoy world-class products and services, as well as enticing food and beverage options, around the clock at the lounges before their flight.
“Customers can enjoy thoughtfully curated product offerings and experience the signature Singapore Airlines hospitality, all within a comfortable and restful environment, ensuring that they are refreshed and ready for their journey,” he said.
Working with renowned Singapore-headquartered hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates, Singapore Airlines redeveloped the lounges by incorporating contemporary finishes and modern amenities, while embodying a timeless elegance.
One of the most popular spaces in the precinct is the Business Class section of the SilverKris Lounge, which offers with four distinct seating sections.
These include a quiet rest area to catch some shut-eye, a main dining hall with an extensive self-service buffet, a living room area with sofa seats and productivity pods, as well as an open concept courtyard-style area that offers light bites for the traveller on-the-go.
“These choices give our customers the flexibility to work, dine, or rest in comfort, whether they are travelling alone or with companions and loved ones,” Goh said.
Led by a full-service bar, with a barista in the morning and bartender service in the evening, allows customers to enjoy their favourite brew or tipple (yes, including variations of the legendary Singapore Sling) with a view of aircraft taking off and landing.
The buffet has a fantastic range of Western and Asian dishes on offer, including laksa, chwee kueh and freshly steamed dim sum and more.
There are also shower facilities and ample spots to work and relax before a short- or long-haul Singapore Airlines flight.
