Budget tips
Observation deck and the rotating restaurant charge separate fees, with different rates for locals and foreigners; check the official Lotus Tower website for current prices and online combo deals.

About
Korte feiten: Soaring 350 meters above the skyline, the tower ranks among the tallest freestanding structures in South Asia and doubles as a major telecommunications hub. Visitors can enjoy elevated viewpoints, dining and event spaces spread across multiple levels, plus a night-time LED light show that turns the silhouette into a glowing landmark.
Hoogtepunten: Step onto the glass-floored viewing platform and feel your stomach drop as the city shrinks beneath your feet, while a sweeping 360-degree panorama reveals traffic, coastline and distant hills. Perched about 350 meters up, the lotus-shaped petals bloom in choreographed color sequences during festivals, turning the silhouette into a living lantern visible from across the bay.
Insider tips
- Bring a lightweight jacket for breezy conditions at height and a lens cloth to manage glare on viewing windows.
- Head for the observation deck immediately on opening to avoid queues and enjoy clearer morning air.
- Reserve a table at the rotating restaurant in advance for preferred time slots and better window seats.
- For photos, shoot toward the Indian Ocean on clear days and include the river and city grid for scale.
