Yen Rooftop Bar: An Award-Winning Rooftop Bar in District 1

Yen Rooftop Bar is the rooftop bar in District 1 at Silverland Yen, a 63-room boutique hotel at 73-75 Thu Khoa Huan Street in Ben Thanh Ward. In 2025 it won Luxury Rooftop View Hotel in South East Asia at the World Luxury Hotel Awards. The bar is open every day from 10:00 to 23:00, with last orders at 22:45, and it welcomes outside visitors as well as hotel guests. Ben Thanh Market is under 350 m away, about four minutes on foot.

This guide covers what the rooftop looks like, what the award actually recognises, when to go for sunset, what else is up there, how to find it, and how it compares with the other rooftop bars in the Silverland Hospitality group.

The 2025 award, and what it recognises

Silverland Yen won three titles at the 2025 World Luxury Hotel Awards:

• Luxury Rooftop View Hotel in South East Asia. A regional category, judged across South East Asia, and the title that belongs to this rooftop.
• Luxury Small Hotel, Vietnam. A national title for a hotel of 63 rooms.
• Luxury Destination Hotel in Vietnam.

The rooftop title is a view award. It recognises the setting and the outlook over downtown Saigon rather than the cocktail list, so the view is the reason to come.

The hotel also holds two guest-review recognitions for 2026: a Booking.com Traveller Review Award 2026 with a score of 9.0/10, which is the score attached to that award rather than a live rating, and Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2026, which places it among the top 10% of hotels worldwide.

What this rooftop bar in District 1 looks like

The hotel describes Yen Rooftop Bar as a hidden garden retreat, and the photographs bear that out: planted walls, trees growing up through the timber deck, warm low lighting after dark and a long pool running beside the seating. Beyond the edge of the deck is downtown Saigon, with older low-rise rooftops in front and the towers of the newer city behind them.

It is the rooftop of a 63-room boutique hotel, so expect a garden terrace rather than a sky lounge fifty floors up. If height is what you are after, our guide to rooftop bars in Saigon compares the tower bars by floor and price.

What to order

The menu covers signature cocktails made with premium spirits and fresh local ingredients, craft mocktails, wine, beer and shareable bites. The current drink menu is linked from the Yen Rooftop Bar page. We have not reprinted prices here because they change.

If cocktails are not your usual order, our short guide to easy cocktails for a first bar visit is worth a look before you go.

Live music at Silverland Yen

Silverland Yen hosts live music on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The schedule can move around public holidays and private events, so if the music is the reason for your visit, call reception on (+84) 28 3823 6789 on the day to confirm the time.

When to go for sunset

Ho Chi Minh City sits about 10.8° north of the equator, so sunset moves by less than an hour across the whole year: from around 17:25 in November to around 18:20 in July. From October to December it falls at roughly 17:25 to 17:45. Twilight is short, about 20 to 25 minutes, so the colour goes quickly.

• Arrive 30 to 40 minutes before sunset to get a seat facing the city while it is still light.
• Stay for the first hour of dark. The deck and the planted walls are lit once the sun has gone, which is when most of the photographs on this page were taken.
• Or go by day. The bar opens at 10:00, so it also works as a mid-morning or afternoon stop while you are walking the area.

The rainy season runs roughly from May to November. Showers tend to come in the afternoon or early evening and are often short, so check the sky before you set out.

What else is on the rooftop

The rooftop is shared with the hotel’s own facilities. According to the hotel fact sheet, these are:

• Rooftop pool, 07:00 to 21:30. It is a pool guests can swim in, set along the edge of the deck.
• Sauna, 07:00 to 21:30.
• Gym, 06:00 to 22:00.

Downstairs on the ground floor, Yen Restaurant serves the breakfast buffet from 06:30 to 10:00 and afternoon tea from 14:00 to 15:30. Afternoon tea is part of a stay at Silverland hotels, and our guide to afternoon tea in Saigon explains how it works across the group. Silverland Yen has no spa.
