The best seat in the house is usually up top. Here are a few of our favorite rooftop hotels, from skyline views to sunset cocktails:
Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro - Beside the enchanting infinity pool, enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the Corcovado from the Pool Bar.
Four Seasons George V, Paris — Le George rooftop terrace sits above one of Paris's most iconic addresses, with Haussmann rooftops stretching out in every direction and the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
The Standard, High Line - Home to Le Bain, a penthouse discothèque and rooftop bar, it pairs exclamation-inspiring views over the Hudson and Meatpacking District with an iconic rooftop setting.
Shangri-La Dubai - Perched on the 42nd floor, Horizon 42 Lounge and Bar offers stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai skyline, plus live jazz and saxophone on weekends.
Caruso, a Belmond Hotel - High above Ravello, Italy, a rooftop terrace overlooks the dramatic Amalfi Coast, with sweeping views across the cliffside and surrounding lemon groves.
A good rooftop has a way of staying with you long after the trip ends. Which of these would you want to remember?
