The CHIJMES complex 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 more—all set around open courtyards.
It’s a favourite hangout for after-work drinks or weekend gatherings with friends.
Families also enjoy exploring the peaceful gardens and historic corridors read more 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.
