Our insiders tip: Of course you can go to the sky deck and enjoy an incredible view but instead you can also take the same amount of money as you would spend on the ticket and have a cocktail instead. We had a drink at SPAGO BAR & LOUNGE! Just have a drink and enjoy the view and see the infinity pool, keep in mind that the pool can be used only by guests staying  in the hotel.

But if you just like to visit the skydeck make sure to buy your ticket in advance.
