Singapore (re)overtakes Doha: for Skytrax, Changi is the world's best airport in 2025. As many as 6 Asian airports in top 10

He tells us about it Skytrax, the renowned research company a British company that compiles rankings dedicated to airlines and airports, which again this year published its Airport Hotel Awards.

Airport Hotel Awards from Skytrax, what they are

The Airport Hotel Awards are based on Surveys conducted among guests to assess hotel standards, including: overall experience at the hotel; access to/from the airport to the hotel; friendly and professional front desk service; friendly and personable hotel staff; treated as valued customers.

Also taken into consideration are the cleanliness of the room and bathroom; the bedroom provided a good night's sleep; in-room amenities; leisure, fitness and spa facilities; quality of food; quality of service of restaurant staff; and value for money.

In addition to the worldwide rankings, Skytrax has also compiled those broken down by different geographical areas: Africa, Asia, Australia, China, Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, India and South Asia. For each area he identified top five hotels.
