What is frequently voted the best airport on the planet should have a fine hotel – and this is the grand fromage of the genre.
Reached by a short walk from Terminal 3, or a brief ride on the skytrain, you can experience chic bedrooms kitted out with all of the hi-tech bells and whistles you’d expect, modern furnishing and triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling picture windows overlooking the (noiseless) airfield.
Guests can recharge for their next flight in the Essencevale Spa or the terminal’s butterfly garden, work out in the gym or relax over a meal in one of several restaurants flanking the huge courtyard and rainforest gardens.
There’s a lovely outdoor pool and next door is the spectacular Jewel entertainment and retail complex with the Rainvortex indoor waterfall.
Magnificent – you’d be happy to have your flight delayed just so you could be stuck here.
