Champion Hotel Shuttles

Just south of Changi Road in Singapore’s Katong neighborhood, Champion Hotel is a no-frills choice ideal for business travelers looking to relax without hassle. Each cozy room comes with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges and complimentary tea makers as well as a Japanese-inspired style that flows from the beds to the furniture. Those interested in living the suite life should upgrade for balconied views of busy passerby as well as colorful themes that include kawaii cuteness and earth-tone chic. Though shuttles are not offered to Changi Airport, nearby public transportation makes things easier through 15 bus routes along Changi Road as well as a few minutes walking-distance to the Paya Lebar Subway Station. A great way to make things easier is by booking an airport transfer of your own, choosing between the low-key ambiance of private vehicles like sedans, vans and SUVs or professional meet-and-greets ranging from efficient taxis and luxurious stretched limousines.

Don’t forget to have fun with what rests just beyond the hotel’s walls, taking advantage of coveted access to some of Singapore’s sweetest getaways. Start the morning at one of many nearby parks, whether it’s cozy urban benches at Joo Chiat Terrace Interim Park around the corner or sweeping views of the Singapore Strait from East Coast Park a few kilometers south. A few blocks west of Champion Hotel is KINEX, a large shopping mall with multiple levels of name-brand fashion and modern goods, and just west of that is the Geylang Park Connector, which hugs the edge of the Geylang River until guests reach the various attractions of Leisure Park, which includes Singapore’s National Stadium and Kallang Wave Mall. And remember to end the evening with a classic bite to eat from various restaurants, whether it be something close like the fresh fish at Geylang Serai Market or the beachside celebrations of East Coast Lagoon Food Village.
