Where To Find The World's Most Stunning Rooftop Bars

You'll find music, food and booze. But let's be honest; the greatest assets of these sky-high, swanky bars are their panoramic city views.

Cé La Vi (Singapore)

Cé La Vi (formerly called Ku Dé Ta) is a premier rooftop party bar as it sits on the 57th floor of the Marina Bay Sands, a structural landmark in Singapore. Part of the astounding SkyPark, the bar lets visitors take in one of the best unobstructed views of the city and the rooftop's infinity pool. Whether you're watching the Sun set over mini wagyu beef burgers with fontina cheese green chili mayo and smoked tomato savor or you're simply hypnotised by the nightly laser show, Cé La Vi is a spot to see and be seen.

Plunge (New York)

Taking over the Gansevoort Hotel's 14th floor penthouse in the Meatpacking District, this granddaddy of New York's rooftop bars is still among the city's best with probably the most stylish gatherings, an astonishing outdoor pool and obviously a sick view of the NYC skyline and the Hudson River. Plunge is stuffed with really young things during the weekends, so those not looking to be part of the scene might want to watch the sunset from the wraparound balcony midweek.

The Roof (Madrid)

If your first look at this club on the ME Madrid is the line to enter at its peak length during late spring know that it's worth the wait. When you board the private lift to the penthouse terrace, you'll be treated to unmatched vies of Madrid's skyline. Owned by Rande Gerber, this swanky rooftop consistently attracts beautiful locals and big names alike, thanks to guest DJ sessions, inviting daybeds and a VIP bar embedded in a stone wall.

Three Sixty (St. Louis)

For a bird's-eye view of Busch Stadium, go on the nosebleed seats and rather go to this slick rooftop bar on the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark. Panoramic views of the Gateway Arch serve as the setting for gourmet bites prepared by Chef Rex Hale such as house-smoked salmon chips, small New England lobster rolls and Korean BBQ pork tacos. Save space for the sweet treats particularly the house-made Kit Kat bars that are among the best in the city. The 6,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor space accommodates cozy flame pits, flat-screen TVs and several bars, making Three Sixty a year-round destination.
