Chijmes

A distinctive attraction in Singapore

Chjimes is a multipurpose complex which offers various commercial entities for entertainment and relaxation. Housed in a Gothic-style structure it has today become a landmark as well as a cultural attraction in Singapore.

The building that houses this attraction was originally a Catholic convent. Known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus this religious complex later was restored for commercial purposes. Today this Victoria Street historic building is one of the most happening places in Singapore.

The original building which was built during the 19th century was a complex of structures boasting different architectural styles of the period. Each built with intricate details using plasterwork, stained glass and frescoes, has an elaborate style and glamour.

The original spaces of the convent and church complex have now been converted to accommodate one of the most luxurious recreational options for public use. With an amazingly beautiful structure such as that, with interiors and exteriors both featuring exceptional architectural styles, it was only right that when it was converted for commercial purposes that it should flaunt such glamour.

Shopping and dining are two of the main options available here, but it is not just simple shopping and dining. It is a rare experience and a culture to indulge in. Each space has been painstakingly converted to provide the ultimate experience for its visitors.

Themed restaurants, casual eateries, hip bars, cafes boasting a unique coffee house culture, clubs and various retail outlets are the main attractions here. The former chapel with its intricately designed magnificent beauty has been converted to feature a function hall where weddings and other functions can be held. The previous large courtyards and open spaces can now be used for musicals, festivals and theatre productions.

Visitors to Singapore are afforded not only such glamorous attractions but also exceptional accommodation options. All types of accommodation Singapore has to offer come with an assurance of a unique experience. Be it hotels, guest houses, luxury apartments or serviced apartments Singapore all guarantee a comfortable and pleasant stay.
