View Hotel One Altitude

This is the tallest building in Singapore. Its height is 282 meters. Of bar located on the roof offers an overview of the city in 360 ′. Bar 1- Altitude is considered the highest bar in the world located on open air.

In my opinion, a review of the city from this bar is more interesting than with Marina Bay Sands lookout. First, it is located higher secondly, from the bar you can see the Marina Bay Hotel, which you just do not will see if you will be on its roof. Well, plus a bar here better if you rely on reviews.
