Questions About Octave Rooftop
Where Is Octave Rooftop in Bangkok?
Octave Rooftop is at the Marriott on Sukhumvit Soi 57, in the Thonglor and Ekkamai district of Bangkok. It is a 360 degree, three-level rooftop. Octave Roof Top Bar, Tichuca Rooftop Bar, Asia Herb Association, Chun, The Old English Pub and Tulip are all close.
What Is Octave Rooftop Like?
It is a 360 degree, three-level rooftop with views in every direction, so you can wander between levels and choose a spot. I would call it the more relaxed alternative to Lebua. Expect couples, groups and after-work drinkers rather than a punter crowd.
Is Octave Better Than Sky Bar at Lebua?
They suit different evenings. Octave is a 360 degree, three-level rooftop with a relaxed feel. Sky Bar at Lebua is the famous Hangover II bar, with an iconic view and a dress code. Octave works for an easy drink, and Lebua is the one for a special occasion.
Do I Need to Book Octave Rooftop?
A booking helps on weekends and around sunset, especially for a table at the edge. Hotel rooftops usually take reservations online or by phone. Midweek evenings are easier for walk-ins. If you are bringing a date, reserve a table, because lift queues set the wrong tone.
What Should I Wear to Octave Rooftop?
Smart casual is the safe option. Trainers are usually fine if they are clean, but shorts, sleeveless tops and flip-flops risk a refusal at the door. Check the current policy before you go. Whoever you bring should dress up a little too.
When Should I Arrive at Octave for the Best Seat?
Plan to arrive roughly 30 to 45 minutes before sunset to catch the daylight, the sunset and the lights coming on. Later, once the sunset crowd moves on, it is quieter and easier to find space. Midweek evenings are the easiest time of all to find a spare table.
