Exceptional sleep pods and shower suites

Had a 5-hour layover on my flight to Bangkok. The sleep pods were clean, whisper-quiet, and let me get two solid hours of deep rest. Showers were spotless with hot water and great pressure.

Delicious warm buffet at 2 AM

The hot food selection was outstanding even in the middle of the night. Fresh lamb tagine, hummus, and espresso kept me energized during my transit to Sydney.

Worth every penny for a 6-hour layover

Purchased online beforehand. Fast check-in at the desk, very stable Wi-Fi for my video meetings, and comfortable seating with universal charging plugs.
