Celest

High up in the Zalmhaventoren, at Celest Skybar, you can enjoy cocktails, shared bites, and a spectacular view of Rotterdam. The unique interior, inspired by a trip to the moon, completes the experience. Admission is free. Book in advance to secure a spot.

Celest is a stylish skybar with a spectacular view of the city and the harbor. The skybar is located on the top floors of the Zalmhaventoren, the tallest building in the Benelux. Stop by for a cocktail, shared bites, and a special moment as the skyline slowly changes from day to evening.

Inspired by a trip to the moon

Celest is inspired by The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall , Edgar Allan Poe's story about a Rotterdammer who travels to the moon in a self-built hot air balloon. The interior, designed by the Rotterdam architectural firm Doepel Strijkers, subtly references this story. The skybar on the 57th floor is reminiscent of a lunar landscape, while the 58th floor is inspired by the colors of sunrise and sunset.

Cocktails, shared bites and a panoramic view

At Celest, it is all about the combination of taste, design, and the view. Enjoy creative cocktails, shared bites, and a carefully curated wine list while overlooking the Rotterdam skyline. The distinctive interior and the view make every visit a unique experience, from an afternoon drink to a cozy evening high above the city.

In the area

Celest is located at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge and within walking distance of Leuvehaven, Veerhaven, and Witte de Withstraat. The Spido, the Euromast, and REMASTERED are also nearby. This makes it easy to combine a visit with a walk along the Maas or a visit to other highlights of Rotterdam.

Also for business events

Celest is also a unique location for business meetings and events. Organize a company drinks reception, networking event, product presentation, or an exclusive event with a view over Rotterdam. The entire skybar can be exclusively rented for up to 275 guests. Parts of the floor can also be reserved for smaller groups.
