Excelsior Shopping Centre. This is the place where Guitars, Records and Music rules. 5 Coleman St, #03-27, Singapore 179805.

I particularly love exploring old rustic shopping malls. They often turn out interesting rare finds. Excelsior Shopping Centre is one such old mall in the heart of the Singapore City Hall district. It is home to a collection of independent mom and pop shops. The mall occupies part of the compound which is occupied by its sister hotel building. Both buildings sit beside the Funan mall and the peninsular plaza (little Myanmar) mall.

Let’s take an exploration of Excelsior Shopping Centre.

This 99 year tenure mall opened on 1979. With the commoditization of malls and cookie cutting of heartland malls being nearly identical clones, I find such malls like Excelsior fast becoming the rarity in Singapore which makes an exploration like this pretty exciting. It like walking into a time capsule of malls in the 70s and 80s. Sadly, such malls are often the target of collective en-bloc sales, where the tenants would often be looking to sell the prime property they are on for a buck or two.

The mall has a total of 7 floors. Also, Escalator going up in a criss-cross fashion starting up from behind the mall’s security counter. The floors are acceptable via a set of small narrow escalators from the ground floor. The basement floor connects under the hotel drop off area via an underpass where you can find a selection of music shops and a hippee T-shirt and print shop.

Acoustic, electric and tiny ukulele guitars. Music stores in the basement. You can see independent shops and even a Swee Lee music store, though they are specialised mostly in guitars. Also, wrapping up the music offerings here is a vinyl shop in the basement too.

All in all, that wraps up our explorations of Excelsior Shopping Centre. Thankfully, the mall is also a family friendly one, with no sight of sleazy KTV pubs or massage parlors typically plaguing such malls. One to visit just for the nostalgia when you are in town at the City Hall region.
