From New York to Bangkok, Beirut to Copenhagen, these rooftop bars combine breathtaking views with unique settings. Whether perched on a seaside rock, atop a former helipad, or high above the clouds, every drink here becomes an unforgettable experience.
High above Bangkok, on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel, this bar feels like a narrow footbridge in the sky. With no glass or walls, just open air, it offers a breathtaking, unobstructed view of the city. Not one for the faint-hearted, but if you love heights, you’ll be rewarded with a dazzling panorama of lights. Here, international cuisine and signature cocktails are served under the stars.
At the top of the iconic Marina Bay Sands, this bar feels like the deck of a ship’s hull. Three towers linked by a soaring platform—an infinity pool on one side, a bar on the other. Below lies the immaculate order of Singapore; above, a glass in hand, the wind on your face, and a view of the city that takes your breath away.
By day it’s a working helipad, but come sunset it transforms into one of Kuala Lumpur’s most unique bars. Set right in the city center, it offers an unobstructed 360-degree view as you sip cocktails on the open-air concrete floor.
Not on a roof, but on a rock - and still a rooftop location. Take the elevator from the Ayana Resort down to the sea. The bar sits directly on the cliff, with the ocean crashing below. No town in sight, just rocks, wind and waves.
Perched atop a historic building on Istiklal Street, “360 Istanbul” lives up to its name with sweeping views of the Bosphorus, minarets, and skyscrapers. Inside, bar, stage, and restaurant blend into one vibrant space, less about rigid concepts, more about the rhythm of music, art, and urban life.
Once a grain silo, now a striking residential tower, “The Silo” in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn houses a restaurant on the 17th floor. With floor-to-ceiling windows, it offers sweeping views of the harbor, city, and sea. The menu blends French-Italian influences with seasonal ingredients, creating a dining experience as refined as the setting.
