Horizon Rooftop Bar – Hilton Pattaya

Horizon is on level 34 of Hilton Pattaya, the tower above Central Festival on Beach Road, right in the middle of the bay. There is indoor seating and a broad open-air terrace, and from the terrace the whole sweep of Pattaya Bay opens up, with the sun dropping into the sea beyond the moored boats.

The Infinity Bar is the focal point for drinks, serving signature and handcrafted cocktails, and the restaurant side offers a full menu from 4pm to 1am, so you can stay on for dinner. A DJ plays nightly, keeping the mood lively but conversational.

Tables can be booked online through SevenRooms, and for a sunset table it is sensible to do so, especially at weekends and in high season. It suits couples, visitors staying along Beach Road and anyone wanting the best-known view in Pattaya with hotel-grade service.
