#ION Sky Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
ION Sky Observation Deck
#singapore
High up on the 56th floor (218 metres into the cloud) of ION Orchard mall, you can get to view and immerse in views of the Singapore skyline at ION Sky as well as dining at Atico Lounge located on the same floor.
To get up to ION Sky, you will need to go up to level 4, and then access a separate lift inside ION Art gallery to level 55.
We enjoyed a leisurely afternoon with their high tea set (Each set is good for 2 people and comes with 4 servings of coffee or tea) in the lounge. One can also enjoy a complimentary welcome drink in the lounge with minimum spend in the mall at selected timing.
ION Skydeck
Ion Sky is an awesome observation deck in Ion Orchard Shopping Mall, the tallest shopping mall in Orchard Road Singapore. With a height of 218 meters from the 56 level of the mall you can have an amazing bird’s eye view of Singapore skyline. Open daily from 3pm to 6pm you need to make a reservation before entry. Entrance is free if you spend $20 on the same day at the mall.
1-Atico - expect quality, always!

Address - 2 Orchard Turn, 55-01 ION Orchard, Singapore 238801
Ambiance/Facilities - Posh and elegant
Highlights - The restaurant sits on the 55th level allows you 360 degree view of Singapore! The food both times that I’ve visited, was absolutely of top quality! Their Christmas specials served empanadas with tasty beef filling, an octopus and corn appetiser and prawns in skewers. All their seafood was juicy and seasoned to perfection!
Their mains consisted of chicken, lamb and beef that was good to be shared by 8 people! They also served deserts that were freshly made! This place is on the pricier end so save this for a special occasion!

Rating - 4 / 5
If you are looking for a luxurious glass house inspired dining experience, coupled with a 360 degree visually stunning panoramic view of the Singapore's city skyline , why not check out the afternoon high tea at 1-Atico on the 56th floor of ION Orchard ? Yes 56th floor which is 218 metres above ground !
The floor is spacious and the high tables or cosy sofa seatings are adequately spread out so that you can enjoy your personal dining space with your family and friends.
The high tea set goes for $58++ which is good for two person and you get to enjoy a decent selection of savories such as :
- Lobster Bisque Shooter
- Blini with Salmon Caviar and Sour Cream
- Mini Vol-au-vent with Parma Ham and Burratina Cheese
- Mini Chicken Pie
- Mushroom and Spinach Quiche
- Raspberry Lychee Rose Cake
- Mini Lemon Meringue Tart
- Carrot Cake
- Mini Fruit Tartlet
- Madeleines
- Assorted Macarons
My personal fav goes to the shooter which is rich and flavourful. Also the set comes with your choice of free flow coffee or tea for two. Additional glass of Red / White / Prosecco wine will be at $15++.
While seeping on the free flow coffee, you can chill, relax and catch the romantic sunset view of Orchard Road's shopping belt as the evening draws by. Truly theraputic and luxurious experience. You may perhaps want to return and check out their other two dining concepts at Fire and FLNT too.

Concrete Jungle
This is the view from the 56th floor of #ionsky We went there during the first easing of covid lockdown. We had lunch at the #jurassiccafe. It was amazing to see the towering buildings in Singapore. It’s just mind blowing to know despite these modern structures there are still places in Singapore where you can connect with nature. #singapore
The Unblocked View From Above
Wanting to have am unblocked view of singspore skyline for free? As we know the popular attractions like Singapore flyer, going up to marina bay sands all requires a fee to go up to the top for a view and for MBS you would either require to be a hotel guest or you have a reservation at one of the restaurants.
Ion Orchard is currently having an art like exhibition on Jose Andres Basbus exhibition on the 55th floor of ion orchard right at ion sky. You can use this chance to head to the top with your family and bring your kids to have a magnificent view from above for free! But do head there as soon as possible as this exhibition is not gonna be there forever.

Chill at 56th floor of Ion Orchard
Atico lounge is located at level 56th of Ion Orchard. To access the lounge, you will need to take the lift from level 4. This is a good place to chill and enjoy the beautiful skyline of Singapore. The lounge serves high tea and also finger food (only available at 12 to 2.30pm and 6pm to 9.30pm).
I love the fries there; is probably one of the best fries I had. I’m not a fan of high tea but guess you love high tea, you will love the selection. For the month of Sep 2022, the price of the high tea is $57++ for 2 pax; a good deal as when I had it was $75++ if I recalled correctly.
Other than the lounge, there are also two fine dining restaurants FIRE and FLNT. I yet to try so cannot comment much.
Best to make a reservation prior to heading down as walk in will not guarantee you a seat.

bird’s eye view from ION SKY
took the lift up from Level 4 of Ion Orchard and was met with a mesmerizing view. we were surrounded by panoramic views of Singapore, 56 levels above Orchard Road. We also enjoyed delicious drinks at 1-Atico Lounge, 218 metres into the clouds. we took the time to take in the sights, from the entire stretch of orchard road, to the Istana, to the Marina Bay Area. Singapore looks so big, and yet so small! It was definitely interesting to see ant-sized humans and vehicles moving along the roads and pavements, and to see the clouds floating high up above. there were also very comfortable sofas to lounge on, and cool vistas to view. highly recommended!#passionpassport #mustvisit #mustdo

Gardens In The Sky
1-Atico is a rooftop dining lounge located right above Ion orchard mall in Singapore. Located 55th floors up, it use to be a observation deck to view the skyline of the city.
However now it holds three different dining concepts, gaining FLNT, FIRE and Attic lounge. They aim to provide world class service and gastronomic experience.
I was lucky enough to be there for work for a work wedding and was blessed with an unusual and super gorgeous view of the place because it was specially decorated for the ceremony, and I literally felt like it was Gardens in the sky. Reminds me of the Studio Ghibli series, Howls moving castle.

FLNT @ 1-Atico Rooftop Restaurant
#cityscapes
Located at level 55 of ION orchard, the chic and luxurious rooftop space, with dramatic city views and lush natural lights flooding in, FLNT bring you a multi-sensory experience.
As Singapore’s only Nikkei-influenced sumiyaki Bar and Grill, FLNT’S food and bar program is a progressive union of Japanese-meets-Peruvian, with specialty sakés and elegant dishes.
The restaurant opens daily with two session, lunch start from 12pm-3pm and dinner serves from 6pm-10.30pm. For lunch menu, I’m strong recommended their tempura don, fried baby white shrimp, iberico pork and grilled squid.
High tea with a view from level 55
Centrally located on top of Orchard MRT is a lounge with a fantastic view of Singapore's city, Atico lounge.
It's located at level 55, and you can only access it through the ION sky lift on the 4th floor of ION.
They serve high tea from 3pm to 5pm (last order at 4pm). The set cost $48+++ per pax (I think they increased the price a fair bit). There was no refill for the drinks and food.
Variety isn't big. Just 3 type of savouries and 5 type of sweets. Pretty expensive for a high tea that isn't refillable even for cup of a tea/coffee in my opinion. The price tag is perhaps for the fantastic view that you will be having while sipping on your drink.
If you are in the area and don't mind the price tag, it's definitely a must try (at least once!) for the instagramable view.

Ion Sky: Breathtaking Orchard Views Award
#exlporesgtogether #exploresgtogether #attraction #momentssg
Located 56 floors above ION Orchard, it was a hidden gem that only a few know and admission was free, before it got famous due to social media. Now, part of it became the restaurant 1-Atico lounge, and at that time when I visited, a minimum purchase of 20 dollars is required to gain access (terms and be subject to changes). Each slot is now per hourly basis.
Been a really long while since I came here when they implemented the minimum spend as I rarely shop in ION. Had the privilege of coming back here again when there was a promotion for ION members. Members who possess certain credit cards get to redeem them for free upon showing the concierge staff the credit card and giving them the membership number.
At that time, they have animated shows for a limited time period featuring either the local food by Ang Ku Kueh Girl, a local artist, or places of attractions by Dick Lee, a local musician for the first 5 minutes during the one hour slot. The screen will then be up to reveal the highlight everyone has been waiting for-the beautiful city views of Singapore 😍
Truly a feast for the 👀 as you marvel in the breathtaking views of Marina Bay and Orchard shopping belt, and can even spot the sea from afar. It is also very informative as well as they have labels to help you identify the various landmarks and locations. There is also some nuggets of geographical info for eg the types of clouds.
Sadly it was unlike last time when I could still go ION Sky in the evening to catch such spectacular day and night views, and there were no restrictions to the duration of stay, but hopefully will be able to catch day and night views in the restaurant when I have the opportunity!

Ion Sky - 1-Altico
Ion Sky located on Level 55 of Ion is now managed by 1-Altico. Opens from 12pm to 4pm.
It’s an observation deck where you get a panoramic view of Singapore. From where you are, you get fantastic city view and there are signs to show where Botanic Gardens, Dempsey, even Johor state is located. It was a great experience!
Immersing in the phototaking of the breathtaking view of Singapore and through its AR.
Will be back!
ION Sky - Singapore Top Skyline on Orchard
I visited ION Sky in 2019 and love the panaromic city views which are especially pretty during sunset as you can see streaks of orange in the sky. Previously, I could access ION Sky as I accumulated some points from spending in ION shopping mall and redeemed it for ION Sky tickets for a time slot of my choice. 🌆
The lift to ION SKY had an video on the walls and top of the lift that shows travelling up the forest to the sky when we reached ION Sky on Level 55.
How to access - Currently, spend a minimum of $50 in a same-day receipt from ION Orchard to enjoy a complimentary welcome drink from ION Sky at 1-Atico lounge between 12 pm to 4 pm.
How to get here - Level 4 of ION shopping mall and take the lift up to ION Sky.
#cityscapes
Ion Sky
Ion Sky is located 55 levels above and 218 metres into the sky. Just years ago before it became a restaurant there is actually a multi media wall and with a certain spending you get to visit the viewing deck that gives a 360° panoramic view of the city.
Cheap thrills I must say because you do not need to book a hotel or dine in an expensive restaurant to get the superb views.
However at time of writing in 2022, it is no longer open to public. However you can still enjoy the view when you dine at atico.
I recently saw a wedding held there and thought the view was mind blown because with good floral decorations it felt like gardens in the sky.
