Bangkok Rooftop Bar with a Transparent Infinity Pool
Together with INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit’s jewel in the crown, a transparent infinity pool, The Giant Swing Pool Bar commands the 34th floor. Nestled between a bar and pool, a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure, The Giant Swing, makes for a dramatic photo backdrop. Adjacent to the infinity pool is an expansive rooftop terrace, dotted with outdoor lounges and sunbeds, that evokes an Ibiza mood accompanied by panoramic vistas. Open from 10 am until midnight, the open-air pool bar serves Mediterranean, Thai, and international snacks and dishes such as INNSiDE’s Burger and cool beverages, including imaginative cocktails. By night, the pool bar becomes an upper-floor extension of the hotel’s 33rd-floor LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar. A spectacle unlike any other in Bangkok, tapas bar guests peer into the bottom of the infinity pool.
Chiang Mai Rooftop Bar Features Glass Bridge
Chiang Mai’s highest bar, Meliá Chiang Mai’s 360-degree rooftop bar dubbed MAI The Sky Bar affords sweeping views of the Ping River to the city’s east and famed Doi Suthep Temple on the mountaintop to the west. Perched on the 22nd floor, the bar features rooftop terraces at varying heights, with a spectacular glass bridge connecting the bar’s highest seating areas. Surrounded by glass balustrades that give way to stunning views of Chiang Mai at sunset and by night, the bar’s entertainment includes live bands and DJs. Drawing on Meliá’s Spanish roots, the city’s most happening venue’s menu serves a variety of tapas and pinches, grazing boards, and desserts under sections dubbed “Para Picar,” “Tableros” and “Postres,” respectively—the mixologist’s craft beverages, including imaginative cocktails referencing Chiang Mai’s forests and mountains.
