The Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) T2 is good, but if we’re being honest, we’d rather be out in the rest of the airport.

Location of the SilverKris Lounge at SIN T2

At Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Singapore Airlines operates two SilverKris lounges: one in Terminal 2 (E Gates), one in Terminal 3 (A Gates). Our review below is strictly for the Terminal 2 location.

To find the location in Terminal 2, you’ll find signage throughout the lounge directing you towards the center of the terminal.

The easiest way to the lounge is to head up this set of escalators right across from the Lotte Duty Free store.

Once upstairs, you’ll find the SilverKris (business class lounge) on the same side of the floor as you. Across the bridge is the first class lounge.

Once you make it to the entrance, you’ll find a team of employees eager to confirm your access.

Access rules

The Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer lounge at Changi Airport (T2) is open 24 hours a day.

Before we talk about access to this particular lounge, it’s worthwhile to mention that Singapore Airlines has several different lounge types:

• KrisFlyer Gold Lounges, which are intended for Star Alliance Gold customers
• SilverKris Lounges, which are intended for business class customers
• The SilverKris First Class Lounge, which is intended for Star Alliance first class customers
• The Private Room, which is a “lounge within a lounge” inside the SilverKris First Class Lounge

Whereas with some airlines, the Star Gold lounge is a better quality than the business class lounge, with Singapore Airlines, the SilverKris Lounge is better than the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Access to the SilverKris Lounge is limited to:

• Business class passengers traveling on Singapore Airlines or any Star Alliance flight
• Singapore Airlines PPS Club members traveling on Singapore Airlines (+1 guest)

It’s nice how simple the access rules are here compared to other lounges.

Seating at the SilverKris Lounge T2

This visit is from June 2026, which is in the middle of the $45 million investment expected to finish in 2027. Thus, things may change a little from what’s listed below. For the record, I didn’t see any sign of construction while there.

I’d imagine how crowded it feels here is dependent upon the timing of flights throughout the day. Most Star Alliance flights depart from Terminal 2, so the potential is here for crowding, but we didn’t notice it when here just before 2PM. The lounge has a lot of seating across what feels like two large rooms.

Inside are plenty of styles of seats, ranging from seats for one, tables for small groups, and long tables for larger parties or just to be social.

The other “room” has lots of seating with a similar variety of options. The main downside is that it’s further away from the food. Though there is some natural lighting here, don’t expect great views of the tarmac.

The food in the SilverKris Lounge SIN T2

Most of the food in the SilverKris Lounge at SIN Terminal 2 is served via buffet. You’ll find a good selection of Asian and Western favorites here, including dim sum. We didn’t have too much time to enjoy the food here before leaving–we only stayed here about 15 minutes before needing to board our next flight. But what we did try was good and not dried out.

We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Hidden in a corner is a small freezer holding some ice cream. Naturally, the kids enjoyed themselves here during our short visit. Some ice cream is already balled up, making it easier to scoop.

If you want some freshly prepared food like soup noodles, wontons, tofu, or porridge, you’ll find a single chef working the area on the side of the buffet. There is an all-day kids menu here, with chicken congee, mushroom pizza, chicken bratwurst, and teriyaki chicken with rice.

Given there was only one chef here while we were here, the kitchen seemed a bit backed up. Jenn tried to order from the kitchen but all she got was a response that sounded like they wouldn’t be able to make it right away. I’m sure it’s better than the buffet, but we didn’t get a chance to evaluate it.

Drinks

Around the corner from the buffet is where all the drinks are stored. Inside the small fridges is a large assortment of sodas and packaged juices. We didn’t find any fresh juice here in this lounge.

The rest of the drinks, including a beer tap, coffees and teas, water, and wine are just to the left of the sodas and juices.

Wine and hard liquor are hanging out right next to a small gluten-free selection of desserts. Don’t ask me why these are paired together but they are.

And at the far end are the two coffee machines and the tea selection. Anyone who has been to Singapore before likely has seen TWG Tea before. I know I prefer that tea compared to other mass-produced tea.

Kids Room

If you venture off about as far away from the buffet as possible, you’ll end up in the Play Room, which is where kids can hang out. Just having a separate area for the kids where they don’t have to worry as much about being quiet is a plus. I’m sure a lot of adults could probably agree with that sentiment.

Unfortunately, there isn’t that much for kids to do here. They can watch TV, sit around in bean bags, and play with the few toys that are attached to the wall. More seating inside would be nice, especially for adults if they want to hang out with their children. Adding some books to the room would also be nice.

Recommendation: Worth a pit stop if you’re hungry

Like many lounges, it’s not a place you’ll want to spend extra time that otherwise could be used elsewhere. In the case of Changi Airport, there are a lot of things you can do while inside, including the fantastic butterfly gardens that’s free for everyone. Spending time away from those activities means you better be doing something pretty special as an alternative.

So while the food here is good and we can only guess the noodles are better, the bottom line is that we’d honestly prefer to spend our time in Changi exploring the airport. And maybe that’s why the lounge ultimately wasn’t as crowded when we were there. We used this lounge to stop in, refuel, and go–which I think is all you really need this one to do. At least it’s in a central area of Terminal 2, making it easy to access.
