Shaw House is a shopping mall and the home of Lido Cinema (now Lido 8 Cineplex). Lido Cinema was constructed in 1958 as a 10-storey office blockcite web |url= http://books.google.com/books?lr=&q=%22The+impressive+ten-storey+office+block%2C+Shaw+House%22&btnG=Search+Books|title= Colony of Singapore Annual Report 1958 (page 141) |accessdate=2007-08-01 |format= |work= Great Britain Colonial Office] , and was officially opened by Lim Yew Hock on 22 November, 1958cite web |url= http://www.shaw.sg/sw_cinemadetails.aspx?cplexCode=30%20210%20236%2039%20155%2056%2075%20124%20123%2077%2076%20246%2036%2085%20160%200|title= Shaw Online: Lido Cineplex |accessdate=2007-08-05 |format= |work= Shaw Organisation] .

In the late 1980s, owner Shaw Organisation decided to tear down the old Lido Cinema, and build a 21-storey building with a basement. This project, which was the Shaw Organisation's largest in Singapore to date, was completed in 1993 after three years of construction.cite web |url= http://www.shaw.sg/sw_abouthistory.aspx?id=158%20116%20251%20243%2096%2051%2032%20252%20200%20237%20152%2045%20119%2093%20211%20110|title= About Shaw: Shaw Organisation, 1990 |accessdate=2007-08-01 |format= |work= Shaw Organisation] cite web |url= http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_739_2005-01-26.html|title= Singapore Infopedia: Scotts Road|accessdate=2007-07-30 |format= |work= National Library Board]

Shaw House houses the main store of Isetan in Singapore, and occupies five floors. It has a Japanese supermarket in the basement, and has offices on the upper floors of the building.

The building also houses the Lido Cineplex with 8 screens on Levels 5 and 6. At its opening in 1993, the cineplex started with only 5 halls, but was expanded with another 3 halls in 1997 to keep up with the demands of the cinema market. The main hall, Lido 1, has a capacity of over 900, which was renovated in 2004. It was the first hall in the country to be THX certified with SDDS, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby SR. The projection booth has the ability to "interlock" one print in more than one hall, to allow a blockbuster to be seen in several halls at one time. Although Lido 1 is no longer THX certified, it has equipped itself with Dolby Digital Surround.EX sound system, and is also a 2K DIGITAL hall. Lido 2 is also now a 2K DIGITAL hall capable of screening digital movies. Lido 3 is an E-cinema.

On the 4th floor, Shaw House has three restaurants, one of which is Crystal Jade, and one cafe. Outside Lido cineplex, there is a food court and a McDonald's express kiosk. In the basement, there is a McCafe outlet, and MOS Burger and Pepper Lunch restaurants.

The building's car park is connected to neighbour Shaw Centre. There is a giant LED screen on Shaw Centre facing Orchard Road.
