Complete your night with a sky-high experience. CÉ LA VI Singapore atop the Marina Bay Sands is a good place to take it all in, at almost 200 meters above the ground.

With resident mixologists helming the bar, CÉ LA VI is also the place to sip on the season’s “Bartender’s Handshake” or some celebratory champagne. As one of the city’s most iconic rooftop bars, CÉ LA VI is a worthwhile pitstop.
