Leaving out the Sheraton CDG makes this list lose credibility.
Nice hotel, great tarmac views and you can walk to your plane (no shuttle necessary here as it is in the middle of the terminals) makes this a GREAT airport hotel.
No Crown Plaza changi?
They just added new rooms I believe just last year.
