Adelphi

Unclaimed

A convenient mall located near to City Hall mrt with affordable food options at the lower floors and also several music shops, dental clinics at upper floor and several fitness studios.

This is a historical site of the Adelphi hotel which closed in 1973. It was the oldest hotel in Singapore. The legendary Sarkies Brothers purchased the hotel and renovated it in the early 20th century before WW I. During WW II it was renamed as Nanto Hotel. The current building is rebuilt in the 1980s. Now it is known more as a place for amphitheaters and some clinics. It is connected to the Cityhall MRT via Funan. It is easier to walk from the outer side of the station than through the underground.

The Adelphi stands out as a vibrant hub in Singapore, especially with its unique mama shop located in the basement, offering a nostalgic charm. Initially perceived as a declining building, its recent renewal highlights its potential as a premier shopping destination. The Adelphi is particularly renowned for its audio equipment, surpassing other malls like City Plaza, making it a favored spot for enthusiasts. Its mix of retail and office spaces, along with a welcoming atmosphere, makes it a hidden gem in the civic district, appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

Quiet mall. Mostly facial salons and record shops. Great place for those who shop for records and music players and sound systems.
