CÉ LA VI

Spago next door is for watching the sun go down. This is for what happens after it does.

CÉ LA VI is the rooftop to pick when you want the Marina Bay view with a party attached, rather than a quiet drink in front of it. Go late on a Saturday, when the Club Lounge books house and techno DJs, or go up for a drink before dinner if you want the bay at its calmest. The compromise is the rules: a smart dress code, 18 and over from 10pm, and a cover charge for anyone not staying in the hotel. Sort your shoes before you sort the table.

It sits on the 57th floor at the top of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3, and the relationship with Spago next door is simple: Spago is the sunset, this is the night. The view takes in the skyline, Gardens by the Bay and the Straits, and you will not be the only person holding up a phone. Marina Bay Sands calls it "the ultimate day-to-night destination", which is a lot to hang on one lift ride.

Three venues, one floor

It is really a restaurant, the Sky Bar and the Club Lounge. The Club Lounge is a lounge by day, looking over the bay and the Infinity Pool, and a club at night. A renovation that began in March 2025, as the place marked 15 years in Singapore, was led by Prospect Design International and added a backlit onyx stone bar with a wine cellar behind it, a bigger private dining room and a terrace of high tables for drinking in the open air. The terrace is where we would stand.

The cocktails lean towards Asian flavours, and the names tell you the register: The Silent Gold, a citrus-forward margarita; Ed's Favourite Negroni, a white negroni riff; Midnight in Jalisco, made with Don Julio 1942. Order the negroni if you want to taste the bar rather than the tequila brand.

Pick your night

The club's own calendar gives each night a name: Ladies Night on Wednesdays, Groove Room for hip hop and R&B on Thursdays, Higher on Fridays, Elevate on Saturdays and Soul Kiss on Sundays, with a free-flow Liquid Brunch at weekends. Saturday is the one for house and techno, and the big nights run late. If none of that is your scene, that tells you to come early rather than not at all.

Daytime is a different place. The Club Lounge opens at noon as a Day Lounge, and at weekends SkyLine Grill, launched in 2025, runs from lunch into dinner with craft beer pushcarts, a platter of Australian lamb chops and Margaret River Angus ribeye, and Hokkaido scallops in gochujang butter. It is the better choice for anyone who wants the view without the bass, or who has a visitor to impress before their flight.

Before you go up

The Club Lounge dress code rules out sandals, activewear, singlets and beachwear, and men need a shirt and covered shoes. Entry is 18 and over from 10pm, so a mixed-age group should come early. Non-hotel guests pay a cover that includes a house pour; the facts box has the current figure. Bayfront MRT is the nearest station.

Good to know CÉ LA VI is at Marina Bay Sands Hotel Tower 3 (1 Bayfront Avenue); Bayfront MRT is closest. Late hours were listed (Aug 2026) for Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The Club Lounge has a smart dress code, an 18+ rule after 10pm and a cover charge for non-hotel guests; check the official site for tonight's programme before going.
