Social Club Rooftop Bar
A Rooftop That Listens to the City

Tran Nguyen

At Social Club Rooftop Bar, the skyline is not only admired – it is quietly felt. As evening unfolds, Saigon softens into rhythm and light, becoming a living artwork. Here, atmosphere, cocktails and perspective come together, offering a place to pause, reflect and see the city with deeper tenderness.

As the sun slips away and the city begins its luminous transformation, Saigon reveals a softer kind of poetry. From this elevated perch, Social Club Rooftop Bar offers more than a sweeping view – it offers a way of seeing, framing the city as a composition of light, mood and motion.

A Tale of Two Tempos

While the view remains constant, the soul of the 24th floor is beautifully fluid, offering two dual and distinct atmospheres that mirror the city’s own heartbeat. As the afternoon wanes, the space breathes as a laid-back sunset lounge - a sanctuary of golden hues where time slows, and the air is thick with the romance of the horizon. Yet, as the stars take hold, this serenity seamlessly transitions into a vibrant, bustling energy. The pulse quickens, the lights sharpen, and the bar evolves into a sophisticated social epicentre, proving that Social Club is not just a place to watch the night - it is where the night begins.

Artistry in the Air

Crowning Hôtel des Arts Saigon, MGallery Collection – Social Club Rooftop Bar extends the hotel’s narrative into the open sky. Art here is not decorative; it is experiential. It is felt through proportion, ambience and the subtle interplay of Vietnamese warmth and Indochine elegance.

The rooftop retains this refined sensibility with grace. Poised, romantic and gently theatrical, it never drifts into excess. Instead, it allows Saigon itself to take centre stage, becoming the final chapter – and emotional crescendo – of the hotel’s artistic story.

From above, the city unfolds in layers. Traffic becomes a slow-moving current, towers blush with the last traces of daylight and the horizon negotiates softly with the shifting sky. Watching becomes contemplative – an invitation to linger, to breathe and to hold the moment gently. Evenings unfold with measured ease. Cocktails arrive as companions, crafted with finesse and intention. Music hums softly, never overpowering. Conversations stretch and settle, finding their own rhythm against the skyline.

A Calendar of High Spirits

Complementing its everyday ambience, Social Club Rooftop Bar also curates a dynamic calendar of seasonal and monthly themed experiences. Social Ugly, held every fourth Friday of the month, brings a fearless, high-energy spirit inspired by Coyote Ugly. From November through April, the White Pool Party takes place every second Saturday, drawing on the carefree glamour of Nikki Beach with all-white aesthetics, floating décor and DJ-led performances. Tuesdays are reserved for Sapphire Hour Ladies Night, while a daily Happy Hour from mid-afternoon to sunset invites guests to ease into the evening with specially curated drinks.

The Luxury of Restraint

What distinguishes Social Club Rooftop Bar is restraint. It is not a rooftop built for spectacle or performance. Instead, it is a place to gather, to celebrate quietly and to experience Saigon from above with calm clarity.

Recognised as Winner of Best Rooftop Bar at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, Social Club Rooftop Bar has shaped not just the view, but the feeling of how the city is experienced from above. Here, Saigon does not shout. It simply lingers – beautifully framed in light, art and evening air.
