Last April 2019, the airport just got bigger and better with the new addition of the 135.700 sqm complex, Jewel Changi, a one-of-a-kind lifestyle destination designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie. Seamlessly linked to the Changi Airport terminals, Jewel houses one-of-a-kind attractions and over 280 unique shopping and dining concepts, plus airport and accommodation facilities. One of the highlights of Jewel is the 40-meter HSBC Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Inspired by frequent rains in Singapore, the Rain Vortex cascades through an oculus in the roof of the building and is a sight to behold from every floor. It is also home to the Shiseido Forest Valley, a lush four-story terraced garden attraction, which houses one of the biggest indoor collection of plants in Singapore. Every inch of Jewel is an architectural marvel Airport facilities like early check-in counters, baggage storage service and the150-seat Changi Lounge, which comes with shower facilities and provides seamless transfers for passengers with connections to cruise and ferry services, are open from 6:00 am to midnight daily.
