n a city famous for its many rooftop bars, Zoom Skybar is the new kid on the block – and giving its neighbours across Bangkok a run for their money. With views from the 40th floor of the chic Anantara Sathorn Hotel, smartly-styled and open air Zoom covers the entirety of the roof across two levels, presenting innovative 360º cityscape views. Take in the view at sunset as you watch the sky turn red as the sun goes down and then the cityscape turns on its lights. Meet, sip, dine and set new trends for a great night out on top of the city. The menu of French Mediterranean plates along with some Asian Delights is matched by a selection of alcoholic beverages and wines. The cocktails include a number of original creations, one of the best being the tropical Paradise on Earth, a heady mixture of brandy, apricot, banana and grenadine. www.bangkok-sathorn.anantara. com/zoom-sky-bar-restaurant JAMAICA BLUE ON YOUR TRAVELS When travelling through some of these stopover cities, know that a Jamaica Blue café is never too far away.

DUBAI - Level 43 Sky Lounge
T
his smart modern restaurant and lounge sits on the 43rd storey of the Four Seasons by Sheraton building on Dubai’s busy and bustling Sheikh Zayed Road, providing visitors with a spectacular panoramic view of the skyline of this Middle Eastern metropolis. From the Sky Lounge, take in the view of the city's most iconic monuments like Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Atlantis, Dubai Mall, and the Jumeirah coastline.
But Level 43 has more than just a unique outlook of Dubai, with a menu that ranges from afternoon high tea through to cocktails. After a day of exploring all this desert metropolis boasts, a frosty cocktail is a fine way to wind down. Locals claim the sweet sparkling grape and peach flavour syrup is a long-time favourite, as are signature drinks like Skyline, Sun Liss and Level 43, all of which fit in nicely with the rooftop vibe. www.level43lounge.com
HONG KONG - Sugar
W
ith the harbour cutting through it and a grand mountain range as the backdrop, Hong Kong remains one of the most dramatic cities in Asia. Sugar has become the place for cocktails in this busy town, with devotees flocking to the extensive al fresco terrace for the magnificent views across the city. Sugar is located on 32nd floor of the East Hotel in the Quarry Bay district, a short trip from downtown but more than worth it as it presents a different perspective of the city and offers
a different outlook to some of the city’s other bars. Modern style is the go at Sugar, with its wooden and white tones and long couches that invite guests to slink in and enjoy the experience. On the menu is an impressive line-up of cocktails, including the Summer Signature Piscine with Crème de Cassis and prosecco, and the Eastern Summer Punch with a snap of Stoli Vodka, lemon, mint and prosecco. Sugar is sweet, but that place has a definite kick. www.sugar-hongkong.com
