Halal Food in City Hall

The Adelphi at 1 Coleman Street carries a name resonant with Singapore's colonial hospitality history. The original Adelphi Hotel, established in 1863 at Raffles Place, relocated to Coleman Street in the 1880s and underwent reconstruction around 1900. The three-storey hotel featured a grand 400-seater dining room and remained a popular establishment until the late 1960s. When the current ten-storey mixed-use building completed construction in 1990, it inherited the Adelphi name, maintaining a link to the site's heritage while serving entirely different purposes. The building comprises a five-storey retail podium and a six-storey office block with basement parking, creating 10 levels of commercial activity. The Adelphi has cultivated a specialized reputation among audiophiles and electronics enthusiasts, housing Singapore's finest concentration of high-end hi-fi equipment retailers. Shops stock everything from standing speakers and turntables to arcane components like digital-to-analogue converters and phono pre-amps. This niche focus attracts serious audio equipment buyers willing to invest in quality sound reproduction, creating a destination shopping experience that transcends casual mall browsing. Beyond audio gear, The Adelphi offers beauty and spa services, numismatics shops, and memorabilia dealers, catering to collectors and specialists rather than mass-market consumers. The building's sustained recognition, including Top 10 Commercial Building status from 2014 to 2016 and the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award in March 2017, reflects management's commitment to maintaining standards. Located in the City Hall district, The Adelphi benefits from proximity to government offices, cultural institutions, and MRT connections that ensure steady foot traffic despite its specialized retail mix.
