CHIJMES stands out as a beautiful heritage site on Victoria Street, blending history with modern lifestyle experiences.
Originally a Catholic convent and school dating back to the 1850s, CHIJMES (pronounced “chimes”) was carefully restored into a lifestyle complex while preserving its original chapel and cloistered walkways.
The highlight is the CHIJMES Hall—a former chapel now used for weddings, concerts, and private functions, featuring tall stained-glass windows and high vaulted ceilings.
Foodies can choose from an array of international cuisine—Mexican, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Western grills, and website more—all set around open courtyards.
There’s also a lively nightlife scene, with alfresco bars and regular live music or sports screenings on big screens in the courtyard.
Families also enjoy exploring the peaceful gardens and historic corridors during the day.
Overall, CHIJMES continues to be a favourite destination for locals and tourists seeking good food and unique experiences in a stunning heritage setting.
