Editor's Pick

KITA Bar, Park Hyatt Jakarta — Jakarta has higher rooftops and louder ones, but none that get the balance quite this right: a low-lit lounge and an open terrace on the 36th floor, looking straight out over Central Jakarta. Arrive around 5.30pm for sunset. Smart casual, and worth booking ahead at weekends.

Jakarta has one of South East Asia's most impressive rooftop bar scenes, driven by the city's collection of super-tall skyscrapers in the CBD districts of Sudirman and Thamrin. The Indonesian capital's top rooftop venues sit anywhere from the 45th to the 67th floor, offering uninterrupted panoramic views across the sprawling city. From the iconic SKYE at Menara BCA to the record-breaking heights of HENSHIN in Gama Tower, Jakarta's sky bars combine world-class views with strong culinary and cocktail programmes. The city's traffic makes rooftop bars a popular choice for evening socialising among expats and local professionals alike.
