Up In The Air: Kuala Lumpurs' Best Skybars

The best way to enjoy a city like Kuala lumpur is to head up and enjoy a 360 view of this buzzling city. The lights, the sound, you can experience it all and since the temperature is 30 degrees all year round no need to worry that you’ll get cold up in the sky. Here’s a selection from the best rooftop bars with breathtaking views!

1. Heli Lounge Bar

You can actually enjoy your drink, while standing on an helipad enjoying a 360 view of the city. During the day the helipad is actually still in use as a landing site while at night it transforms into one of the coolest bars of the city. Catching sunset here is a must, its magical to watch the sun go down while the city slowly starts to light up.

2. Marini's on 57

Located on the 57th Floor of Petronas 3 tower next to the Petronas Twin Towers gives this bar an extra dimension, it almost feels as if you’re actually inside the famous Twin Towers. The view here is so sensational that enjoying your drink becomes an afterthought.

3. Skybar at Traders Hotel

Are you up for a real party while overlooking the Petronas towers? Then the Skybar at the Traders hotel is the place to be. Airy and glamourous with a pool as the centerpiece you can definitely enjoy your cocktail here! At selected nights a dj will play tunes to dance the night away will feeling on top of the world! When your feet are tired, lay down on of the cabana’s near the window to soak up the amazing view.

4. Troika Sky Dining

When looking for a place to have dinner with a view, Troika is a must! It consists of several restaurants and bars (Strato, Fuego, Cantaloupe, Coppersmith & Claret) all with different atmospheres; from chique to laidback and modern to vibrant & fun. Our favorite is definitely Fuego, where they bring south American flavors to a whole new level! If you’re not convinced yet, you should know that they have a special chef that’s in charge of making guacamole, perfecting it to the core.

5. View bar at the G Tower

If you’re looking for sophisticated place with a luxurious appearance, then pay a visit to the View bar located in the G Tower.
