CHIJMES

Accessibility Rating:

CHIJMES, built decades ago, is trying its best to retrofit itself to be more wheelchair friendly.

Map 1: Location of CHIJMES.

Photo 1: A preferred drop-off/pick-up point is at the valet office. The only problem? It is exposed to the elements, rain or shine.

Photo 2: There is a basement car park at CHIJMES. But to prevent misuse, barriers were placed just before the lifts. Also, I could not find a designated handicap lot in the basement car park.

Photo 3: Speaking of lifts…. They are small, slow and hot.

Photo 4: Interior view.

Photo 5: There are two handicap toilets that I found. One is located behind Lei Gardens Restaurant on Level 1.

Photo 6: The other is at basement 1, near the La Cave (if it is still there) restaurant.

Photo 7 & 8: Ramps are located at the corner exits.

Photo 9: Another ramp leading to Lei Gardens Restaurant and the handicap toilet.

Photo 10 & 11: The walkway around the place is quite pleasant.
