The Ultimate Place to Unwind in Rotterdam’s Highest Sky Lounge

The highest sky bar in the Benelux

Escape the city in Rotterdam’s most exclusive sky lounge. At Celest, enjoy comfort, style, and phenomenal views high above the skyline. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or gathering for after-work drinks, reserve your place among the clouds. Free admission.

Enjoy a Relaxed Atmosphere and an Elegant Setting

From the moment the elevator doors open, you step into a different world. Our sky lounge is designed as a modern, welcoming living room above the clouds. Inspired by the mystery of the moon, the interior invites you to sit back and stay awhile. As the sun sets and the harbour and city begin to sparkle with thousands of lights, you’ll find the perfect setting for meaningful conversations and memorable moments.
The music is always present, yet never overwhelming. Our carefully curated soundscape provides a subtle and atmospheric backdrop, enhancing the intimacy and comfort of your evening.

The three of us had a wonderful evening at the bar. Delicious bites and drinks, with the highlight being the stunning view. The service was friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Laura de Wit
Popped in out of curiosity on a Friday evening for a drink and were pleasantly surprised. The cocktails are delicious, the view is impressive, and the moon theme is beautifully carried through — from the entrance to the lift and even the toilets. The staff were friendly and attentive.
Thomas Vermeer
Spent Friday evening here with friends and had a great time. Lovely atmosphere, great cocktails and tasty bites to share. The view over the city really completes the evening. Definitely a place to come back to.

Went up for a drink and the view on Saturday evening. Lovely spot, not too crowded, with nice background music. Ordered some cocktails and bites and just had a relaxing time.
