The Skye bar sits on the top floor of the BCA Tower, offering nice views towards the south. It was quiet up here during the mid-afternoon, possibly because of the sudden heavy showers that passed through an hour earlier. 56 floors up, the views are quite unobstructed up here. Skyscrapers cluster towwards the south, but there isn't a defined skyline, but a somewhat chaotic mess. Across the street, I headed up the Cloud Lounge rooftop bar on the 49th floor of The Plaza. The views are quite good and drinks very affordable by international standards. Too bad it was still rainy season. The lounge's front-row seating is not so big so do come up early to grab a spot. Several restaurants span downstairs that have similarly nice views. Hotels occupying the upper floors of office buildings also offer good views that are a bit harder to find online.
