OVERTURES
ARTS & CULTURAL MATTERS
Apart from its groundbreaking design,
Jewel perfectly encompasses the essence
of a vibrant business and commercial
hub. It consists of different concepts
or pillars to ensure that everyone, not
just travellers, enjoys their time in the
destination. The first pillar, Shop & Dine,
has over 280 units with a wide array of
F&B and retail options. Visitors can taste
sumptuous delicacies and browse through
exclusive stores, including the Pokémon
Center, the only one of its kind outside
Japan with custom merchandise dedicated
to its Singaporean outlet. There is Tiger
Street Lab, an original Singaporean beer
that offers a curated experience to fans
with unique beer flavours and special
merchandise. A Nike store allows fans to
go for customised options and create their
unique sneakers.
The second pillar of thinking, Fly, eases
the journey for travellers as the hassle of
connecting flights, painfully-long waits
between flights or luggage storage get
addressed. Jewel is strategically located
next to Singapore’s bustling Changi Airport
so travellers benefit from early check-in
counters and baggage storage facilities that
are open from 6am to midnight.
Jewel’s concept of Stay is dedicated
to YOTELAIR, of cabin-styled rooms
meant to deliver a comfortable rest with
smart beds and amenities which can be
booked starting from four hours and more.
Famously-known for its flexible option to cater
to various needs of travellers, it finally made its
debut in Asia as the first YOTELAIR at Jewel.
YOTELAIR Singapore Changi Airport provides
self check-in kiosks for travel convenience
with a gym and a chance to view the Rain
Vortex cascading right next door.
With Jewel’s concept of Play, it captures
the theme of exciting exploration that is
best conveyed in the layout and experience
offered at Canopy Park, located at the top of
Jewel whilst the Changi Experience Studio
on the fourth floor portrays the diverse
stories of Changi Airport.
Even after the normal closing hours,
Canopy Park and Jewel’s Basement 2 will
still be open, some even until 3am to make
sure that the fun never stops. Other areas
which are still operating on extended hours
include the Changi Lounge on level 1 and
its neighbouring cafés, as well as YOTELAIR
Singapore Changi Airport.
Jewel Changi, set in innovative
architecture and astounding choices of
food, shopping and entertainment goes
beyond being a desirable airport terminal.
Not just a rest stop for travellers, it’s also
a destination for all hours of the day set in
lush greenery and serene surroundings to
ease the stress of travel. With technology,
commerce and nature rolled under one
glass dome roof, Jewel Changi maintains
Singapore’s reputation as a forwardthinking
city with cutting-edge wonder.
