Leading lines, geometrical shapes and seemingly infinite levels to look down on make this unique vantage point an architectural paradise — as long as you're not afraid of heights! After riding up the towering glass elevator to the top floor, make sure to hold your camera tight. It's a long way down, but the view is well worth it!

This image was taken on the top floor of the Pan Pacific Singapore hotel, looking down onto the floors below. Please note that this is a public space, but in order to get to this level on the elevator, you'll need your own key or ride the elevator with a guest you know staying there. If you don't have elevator access, consider contacting the hotel prior to going there to increase your chances of getting a ride to the top floors.
By MRT:
- Closest MRT station: Promenade (Downtown Line and Circle Line)
- Take Exit A
After leaving the MRT station, walk towards Pan Pacific Hotel passing by Centennial Tower and Millenia Tower. Once there, you can take either the hotel main entrance on ground floor or the side entrance on the elevated level. Pass by the reception or walk towards the elevators.
There are two sets of elevators. The three ones close to the inner hall only go up to a floor number, which won't be sufficiently high enough if you want the crossing to be in your composition. Instead, I recommend taking the elevators across from the other two, which will go to the highest floors. They're located at the outer wall of the hotel and are easily accessible.
You'll know you're in the right one if you're standing in a glass elevator on the exterior of the building. You'll want to get to the 32nd floor, but the floor level doesn't matter too much as long as you're above the crossing below you.
If you want to include a model in the composition, you must get her/him to the exact level that the crossing is on. I believe it's on level 28, but I didn't get there myself, so your model might have to try out a few different levels before the find it.
