Guest mix design Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 just seems a mix of The Shoppes at Marina Bay with Gardens at the Bay Dome combined into a shopping mall, actually doesn't seem to be any new inventive design.

(since all luv the vortex and fountain so much)The new building will be a breath of fresh air for Orchard Road as there has been no new supply in this sub-market for a period of time. hope sg will wakeup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehandle Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Truly agree, this is the one and only video that highlights the crucial point those transiting cannot access jewel at all cos u need to exit immigration and then later..... ferry transition ok- ie why they offer free shuttle bus for pp at the ferry terminals the best way to eat A&W and Shakeshack without the need to travel, is to grabfood, deliveroo loh Edited April 21, 2019 by lovehandle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letsrelaxpp Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Why do orchard road not bring in a&w, shakeshack, pokemon etc....without unique shop, no matter how well connected orchard road is, nobody will want to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoin Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Since I am not based in Sg majority of the time, I am excited about the Jewel. Compared to many of the US airports, the Jewel is a prized gem. There is nothing like that here in any of the American airports, and honestly, Singaporeans have it great when it comes to airports. While the shops are meh to me, as many pointed out, the usual suspects, and honestly, it will be great to find smaller, local or unique brands being supported, nonetheless, the architecture and concept of the Jewel is one of its kind. So be proud. Be appreciative of what Singapore has. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Edited April 29, 2019 by doncoin Quote Love.

lonelyglobe Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thats true, us, europe airports actually quite sucks, few shops, close early and service also not really that fantastic as compare to sg, no wonder is the best airport for so many years. Not so interested in the shops but yes the water fall and the whole architecture, should be able to win some international buildings awards.

Guest Neh Neh Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I compare Jewel with Dubai Burj Khalifar 5-star mall. Think Jewel only rate 4 stars. Not as grand as Burj Khalifar and no local cultural feel. Simply a fine shopping mall. Agreed should do more better and bring in more cultural feel factor.

lonelyglobe Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I suppose wouldnt be fair to compare orange with durian.....yap the main soul of it is the waterfall, remove that and it will be just another shopping mall. Yap it would be nice to have theme event during festival celebration like dumpling , mooncake festival etc...the light show can incorporate some storyline along that way or use animation to tell a story.

Steve5380 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I would prefer if Changi Airport had spend the money in improving facilities for passengers in transit and those who need to spend the night there. I found it already very friendly by providing comfortable recliners to sleep, even a garden like area to overnight. I often arrived there at around midnight, and spent some hours sleeping before passing immigration and taking the MRT to my destination in the city. About the waterfall, I have ZERO interest. I prefer to admire the Niagara Falls in my adoptive country, or the Cataratas del Iguazu in my native country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kinda frustrated that I check in T2 then only being inform that I unable to access Jewel lol .... U already checked in? then u cannot access which is also why i started to share critical info: those transiting or whatever, cannot enjoy it U need to exit the airpt (after landed) or u r to enjoy our crown jewel first before doing your check in Which is also why i m qn those reports: many flyers/many using the airpt might NOT be able to fully enjoy the jewel as it appeared to be.... by the time u finally reach the LARGE crown jewel , u need to decide where to start with (not all r able to make a dcision fast to eat and shop ) Some shops are NOT opened til late (shake shack was closed before 8pm , their meat patties run out fast if u have read the reviews on tripadvisor too) some shops have LONG q (Cos not many options left) and from one end to another is a big challenge, so by the time u took the monorail to jewel it is time u return to your terminal for check in already Neither would i recommend half an hour-40min shopping at jewel, it is too short (cos u need to "get to the place") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve5380 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Changi is one of my favorite airports because I find there so many attractive features for travelers. For example, the abundant free internet stations, the comfortable recliners to lay down and sleep for a while, clean modern bathrooms, transporters along the long corridors towards the boarding gates, etc. There are also many attractive stores with all kind of (duty free?) merchandise, where I never buy anything. In fact I dislike airport stores, especially those one has to endlessly traverse to reach the boarding gates. But this is not so bad at Changi. The Changi Jewel does not seem to do anything for the traveler. One tries to spend as little time as possible outside the immigration restricted area. And it makes sense that one single "Jewel" cannot serve both areas inside and outside. It would have been a better investment of the money to make improvements inside and outside. The fact that it was built outside indicates that it is really detached from the functions of an airport, but caters more to visitors from the city to go there to shop and walk around like in any other mall. This really works AGAINST travelers because it adds the traffic of countless people who have no intention to travel but get in the way, adding crowding to this single MRT line. And the huge waterfall? It may be nice to see, but once is enough. We all have seen before water falling, from much higher, like in the rain Cube3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a long queue at immigration and a rather long walk, we reached the Jewel. The rain vortex is indeed unique and impressive but that was the only wow factor for me. Otherwise just like any shopping centre. those who went on a day time, benefited with more unique photo shoot although "Understand most photo focus on the water fountain, but it is very similar to the one at MBS only bigger.

Guest Guest Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Jewel is a waste of money. Its ment as a playground for the rich. These monies could be used better by helping the many many many many poor in singapore. How many millions of meals could be made to feed the hungry? Jewel is another project of vanity. Targeting those high net worth people to visit and spend! I had yet to see jewel do anything for the poor by letting the poor dine to fill their empty stomachs to give clothes for the elderly and children who have barly any cloths or shoes for daily living. Lets not talk about the waterfall!! How much water is wasted!! All these water coule be used to provide water for free for thousands of poor families but now used for the high net worth people to take pictures to load up their insta or facebook to showoff how trendy and well off they are!
