(CNN) — Thanks to rapid development over the past decade, Asia has become synonymous with futuristic architecture and cloud-piercing skyscrapers.

And inside those towers? Many of the region's skyscrapers contain lofty bars, pairing classy cocktails and unparalleled views.

For a sky-high experience coupled with spectacular sights, here are a few of the tallest bars in Asia.

1. Alfresco 64 - A Chivas Bar

Incredible views, rare pours greet visitors to the new Alfresco 64 bar at Bangkok's Lebua hotel.

Where: Bangkok, Thailand

The recently opened Alfresco 64 - A Chivas Bar, atop Tower Club at Lebua hotel in Bangkok, has claimed the title of world's highest alfresco whisky bar.

Located on the 64th floor, the bar is the latest addition to The Dome, a popular restaurant and bar destination atop Lebua hotel.

Travelers will also find Sky Bar (which made an appearance in "The Hangover Part II") and Flute, A Perrier Jouët Bar (the world's highest Champagne bar).

Focusing on exclusive nips, Alfresco 64 is powered by Chivas Regal. The Scottish whisky brand has even produced a special Lebua blend for the bar.

Even if you don't care for whisky, it's hard to argue with the views, which showcase the Bangkok skyline and Chao Phraya River from a bird's eye vantage, 800 feet above the city streets.

2. Ozone

Where: Hong Kong

You can't round up a list of sky bars without Ozone -- the highest hotel bar in the world on the 118th floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.

Set atop the International Commerce Centre (ICC) on Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula, the ultra-modern space is a popular stop on the tourist trail.

To reach the bar, travelers take a special elevator which gradually dims its lights as it ascends to the 118th floor.

From there, a moody blue-lit room comes into view -- picture contemporary geometric decor, a white marble bar and lounge-like seating.

The spacious terrace offers the best views, where guests can sip on a meticulously made martini while admiring 180-degree views of the city's iconic skyline and Victoria Harbour.

During Hong Kong's humid summers, reach for one of the chilled signature cocktails -- the Basilic is especially refreshing with gin, basil, green apple, lime and yuzu foam.

3. 1-Altitude

Where: Singapore

As the highest bar in Singapore -- and the highest alfresco bar in the world -- 1-Altitude crowns One Raffles Place tower in the center of town.

It's actually more than just a bar, with several levels of dining and drinking venues stretching from the 61st to 63rd floors -- the highlight being the rooftop.

Sporting 360-degree views, there's nothing but a slender glass panel to impede the vista below.

Of course, Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer dominate the view, but it's also possible to see smaller neighborhoods and quays.

If the neon lighting doesn't give it...
