In late 2022, Singapore Airlines (SIA) invested a whopping US$50 million into renovating the SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold Lounges at Changi Airport. Aside from offering exclusive access to the First Class and Business Class Lounges via its foyer, the SilverKris Lounge leads to The Private Room, a secluded area with around 78 seats that's only accessible to passengers travelling in SIA Suites or First Class. It features pocket seating booths for solo travellers, duo seating booths for small groups, and four day rooms for those seeking privacy and relaxation. Suspended over the lobby of The Private Room is a stunning light dome adorned with custom-made crystal flowers from Lalique, inspired by aquatic ginger (one of the flowers used in SIA’s Batik Motif).

The lounge now includes a larger dining room with a live station, an expanded dining area, an upgraded bar, productivity pods, a dedicated meeting room, and a new playroom for kids with a nearby sitting area for parents. Order speciality cocktails like the SilverKris Sling at the fan-favourite watering hole known as the Crystal Bar, now with a refreshed look that features a wall adorned with Lalique crystal lighting also inspired by the aquatic ginger shape.
