Sky-High Sips & Sensations at SKAI Bar – A Singapore Night to Remember

Perched on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford, SKAI Bar isn’t just a rooftop lounge — it’s an experience suspended between sky and skyline.

The night began with the soft glow of golden table lamps and a panoramic view that makes your heart skip. Nestled beside the window, we gazed out at the entire Orchard district, shimmering with festive lights. Singapore really turns it up during the holidays — rooftop projections, glowing trees, and glittering malls stretching as far as the eye can see.

Pro tip? There’s a mall directly connected to Swissôtel, making SKAI the perfect spot to grab a well-earned cocktail either pre- or post-shopping. Whether you’re treating yourself to a splurge or just winding down, this sky bar makes retail therapy taste even better.

We timed our visit for golden hour — and trust me, a window seat is non-negotiable. Watching the city blush with sunset hues before transforming into a glowing urban galaxy is pure magic.

Cocktails are both clever and local-inspired. I tried the “Singapore Riser” — turmeric gin, calamansi, and coconut in a tropical, refreshing blend. My partner had the “Pink Caravan”, featuring dragon fruit and hibiscus, balanced and lightly sweet. Both came out photo-ready and dangerously sippable.

We paired the drinks with a small cheese and pâté platter — classic, elegant, and just filling enough to keep the conversation flowing. The roasted cashews on the side were oddly addictive.

The space itself glows with understated glam, but it was the towering Christmas tree — decked out in handcrafted ornaments, wooden houses, and star-shaped décor — that added a layer of festive wonder to the sleek modern space.

Whether you're after a romantic date, a solo indulgence, or a celebratory night out, SKAI Bar blends luxury, warmth, and unforgettable views. It’s a place that lingers with you long after the final toast.

Travel Tips:– Time your visit during golden hour — it’s breathtaking.– Always ask for a window table.– Pop in after a shopping spree at the mall below — it’s the perfect way to end your day.
