The short answer
5 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Singapore is the world's most photographed rooftop city. Marina Bay Sands has redefined what 'rooftop bar' can mean. The 10 below show why Singapore takes the rooftop format seriously.
Perched on the SkyPark atop Marina Bay Sands, two hundred metres up, CÉ LA VI splits into a restaurant, a sky bar and a club lounge. The view is the headline and the prices follow it, so come for the skyline rather than the value. Sunset is the slot worth booking. Tom would nurse one drink and make it last.
On the roof of the National Gallery, Smoke & Mirrors looks straight across the Padang to Marina Bay, about the best free-standing view in the city. The cocktails are serious and priced to match the address. It draws a dressed-up date crowd, so book ahead and time it for golden hour. Worth it once for the outlook.
Full listing & hours →Six floors up at the Fullerton Bay Hotel, Lantern is a long open terrace with benches, umbrellas and candlelight over the water. The Slings are the signature, the Fullerton version built on local gin and rose syrup. It runs calmer and lower-rise than the Marina Bay giants, which some will prefer. Best at dusk before the after-work crowd lands.
Full listing & hours →Thirty-nine floors above Andaz, Mr Stork is a garden-like rooftop with ten teepee huts and a full 360-degree sweep of the skyline. It opens at five and runs to midnight, later at weekends, and leans romantic over rowdy. Prices match the height. Go early for a hut, or stand at the rail and take the view for the cost of one drink.
Full listing & hours →Singapore's first standalone rooftop bar, up on Odeon Towers near Raffles, Loof trades cheek and local flavour over white-tablecloth polish. It sits lower and more relaxed than the Marina Bay towers, which makes it the pick for an actual drink rather than a photo. Open since 2005 and still busy. The closest a Singapore rooftop gets to a proper bar.
