CHIJMES was formerly a Catholic convent, specifically the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), which was first built in 1903. In 1997, the building was reopened as a combined retail and dining venue. The stores offer a good mix of arts and crafts products - especially notable is Peter Hoe Evolution, a store selling a fine selection of batik clothes. Once you're done shopping, drop by the CHIJMES Fountain Court for a great al fresco dining experience.

Singapore’s foremost temple to conspicuous consumption is attached, quite fittingly, to its major casino property. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands offers over 800,000 square feet of shopping and dining space under a curvy glass roof, which bathes the space in natural daylight. The cavernous interior features some of the world’s priciest brands, including Cartier, Burberry, Gucci, Patek Philippe, and Yves Saint Laurent. Louis Vuitton has its own separate boutique housed in the Crystal Pavilion off of the main mall.

The Shoppes also features Singapore’s first in-mall skating rink, a canal with sampans you can ride, and access to the Sands casino and theater. For more on the complex, Shoppes, hotel and all, read our review of the Marina Bay Sands.
