Editor's Pick

Social Club, Hôtel des Arts Saigon — With one evening, we'd send you to District 3: a warm, garden-like terrace 24 floors up, with some of the best cocktails and gin in the city. Happy hour runs 3pm to 7pm daily at half price, and don't miss the glass sky bridge to Centec Tower next door.

Ho Chi Minh City's rooftop bar scene is concentrated in Districts 1 and 3, where a cluster of hotel towers and modern high-rises offer views over the city's dense, energetic streetscape. HCMC's rooftop culture blends international-standard sky bars with genuine local character — venues like the legendary Saigon Saigon Bar at the Caravelle Hotel carry decades of history, while newer boutique hotel rooftops like Social Club bring contemporary cocktail culture and infinity pool glamour. Sunset over the Saigon River from a rooftop in District 1 is one of the most memorable views in South East Asia.
