An experience 185 meters above the ground
Located at the top of the Zalmhaventoren, the tallest residential tower in the Netherlands, Celest offers a unique lounge bar with a 360° view over Rotterdam. Open to the public, this space provides an exceptional panorama of the Meuse River, the bridges, and the city’s contemporary architecture.
A place inspired by literature
The world of Celest is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s tale The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall, in which a man from Rotterdam sets off in a balloon towards the Moon. The bar recreates this dreamlike and cosmic atmosphere, literally taking you up into the clouds.
