The House of Suntory opens new experiential shop-in-shop at Changi Airport
Opened in partnership with Lotte Duty Free, the store covers around 30 square meters and is located in the main departures area in T4
The House of Suntory, the Founding House of Japanese Whisky, has partnered with Changi Airport Group (CAG) and Lotte Duty Free Singapore to open a new experiential shop-in-shop boutique at Singapore Changi Airport.
The store, which covers around 30 square meters, is located in the main departures area in Terminal 4. This opening follows The House of Suntory’s first ever shop-in-shop boutique in travel retail, which made its debut earlier this year within Lotte Duty Free's refurbished central duplex store in Changi T3.
Inspired by the beauty of Japan’s natural world, and elevated by Japanese craftsmanship, the shop-in-shop is designed to offer a "luminous gateway into The House of Suntory universe." Acting as a portal, the boutique aims to invite travelers on an experiential sensory journey, crafted to foster a deep and lasting connection with the brand and its portfolio.
The shop-in-shop showcases the full range of exceptional whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki, complemented by a strong focus on other House of Suntory craft spirits such as AO, Toki, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka.
Embodying The House of Suntory’s signature aesthetic, the new Changi boutique incorporates disruptive and dynamic designs, including large display screens to attract footfall. These screens will project different seasons within nature, to evoke the changing natural environment that surrounds the birthplace of different House of Suntory spirits.
Branded discovery stations featuring interactive screens also invite travelers to embark on a journey of digital discovery, enhanced by a mobile Tasting Table where visitors can sample a selection of craft spirits.
