The CHIJMES complex is a historic landmark in the heart of Singapore, best known for its stunning Gothic architecture and vibrant dining scene.

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 old chapel is now CHIJMES Hall, a sought-after venue for weddings and special occasions thanks to its grand interior and romantic atmosphere.

At night, CHIJMES comes alive with live bands, DJs, themed parties, and plenty of outdoor seating for drinks under the stars.

Apart from food and nightlife, CHIJMES hosts special events—art markets, jazz evenings, more info Christmas fairs, and cultural performances throughout the year.

Overall, CHIJMES continues to be a favourite destination for locals and tourists seeking good food and unique experiences in a stunning heritage setting.
