One Altitude

One Altitude is the world's highest outdoors bar. Situated on the 62nd floor of the UOB building, the bar is a garden on top of a glittering city. The view up top is truly amazing. With multiple bars, garden decoration, and chairs around the side for patrons to enjoy the view, the lovely One Altitude definitely lives up to its hype. I only had the smallest complaint - the music was ridiculously loud like a club, unlike the relaxing atmosphere the garden ontop should've been. In comparison to Ozone, the world's tallest bar at the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong, I think One Altitude is superior. The outdoors fresh airs give it a feeling an indoor bar cannot replicate. The whole point of a rooftop bar is being in the open air! Second, Ozone was slightly too tall at the 101st floor of ICC, where you are literally looking so far down on the rest of the Hong Kong that you have a feeling of being in a plane. At One Altitude, you're at the perfect height where you are looking at the rest of the skyline with awe. Singapore does have one of the prettiest skyline with the Marina Bay Sands standing proud for its residents.

Isn't this the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?


One must always remember how small Singapore is. Singapore is literally a swim away from Malaysia and Indonesia. From the top of the Marina Bay Sands, you can see Indonesia. On top of One Altitude, your phone gets Indonesia. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in the downtown center of Singapore, you are so close to Indonesia that you are literally roaming. To let you know how city center One Altitude is, the building One Altitude is in is on top of Raffles Place, the busiest MRT stop in Singapore. Almost all financial and commercial firms work there. Yet on top, you're already close enough to Indonesia.
