Perched on the top of the 34th floor of the Pacific Regency Hotel Suites, surrounded by grand skyscrapers, the award-winning Luna Bar is one of the more popular nightspots that offer a much sought-after panoramic view with a hip ambience and a great al fresco experience to boot. Enjoy your beverages by the poolside and unwind for the evening - you’ll feel on top of the world, yet tucked away in your own secret world, hidden from the rest of the city.

Stratosphere at The Roof
It seems to be the trend to turn a helipad into a bar these days - here’s yet another one in KL that will impress you. Stratosphere has a gorgeous garden vibe that includes green grass and shrubbery, along with light fixtures that glow magically at night. The rooftop bar overlooks Petaling Jaya. There is ample space here, so you have plenty of freedom to wander the space and not feel trapped, even if you’re on top of a building!
