Lebua Hotels & Resorts takes luxury to new heights with Lebua No. 3, the world’s highest gin, caviar and vodka bar. Reena Hallberg attends the opening.
If there were ever one iconic landmark that could be the apogee of the best Bangkok has to offer in terms of fine dining and bars, it would be the golden-domed Lebua at State Tower and Tower Club. The multiple award-winning food and beverage destinations within, namely Sirocco, Sky Bar, Distil, Flûte A Perrier- Jouët Bar, Alfresco 64 – A Chivas Bar, Breeze, Ocean 52 and the two- Michelin-starred Mezzaluna, have attracted epicures from far and wide, making the hotel famous long before its role in The Hangover films.
The vertigo-inducing hotspots spread between the 52nd and 65th floors are all regarded as some of Bangkok’s finest venues for handcrafted cocktails, innovative fare and star-studded parties – all the while privy to unrivalled views of the winding Chao Phraya River and the city skyline.
The newest addition to this elite list of venues is Lebua No. 3, the world’s highest gin, caviar and vodka bar launched in November last year, amid much glitz and glamour. Perched on the 52nd floor of the Tower Club at Lebua, the bar is designed to offer an experimental cocktail journey with some of the world’s finest spirits and caviar.
Stepping into the dimly lit foyer, it takes a few seconds for the eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once they do, they immediately settle on the bar. The gin bar, with a futuristic, glamorous illuminated bar top and only 10 seats surrounding it, becomes our first stop for the night.
