Vertigo & Moon Bar Rooftop
Perched 61 floors above Bangkok's Sathon business district on the roof of the Banyan Tree Hotel, this open-air venue combines contemporary fine dining with a dedicated cocktail bar and some of the most expansive views of the city skyline available anywhere in Bangkok. The combination of a full restaurant menu, an extensive wine list, and a bar means visitors can come for a complete dinner or simply settle in for drinks, making it one of the more versatile options in the city's competitive rooftop scene. The atmosphere is romantic and refined without feeling overly formal. The open terrace creates a genuine sense of elevation and openness, and visitors consistently highlight the experience of watching Bangkok's lights spread across the horizon as the city transitions from dusk into night. Music is kept at a conversational level, cocktails are well-presented, and the service is generally attentive, though some visitors have noted occasional inconsistencies during busier periods. Good to know: The venue opens daily at 5 PM and stays open until 1 AM. Arriving around sunset — typically between 6 and 7 PM depending on the season — allows guests to experience the full shift from golden hour to city lights, which is widely considered the highlight of a visit. Smart casual dress is expected at minimum, and overly casual clothing is unlikely to be accepted. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly on weekends and during peak travel seasons, as the best outdoor tables fill quickly. Booking can be made through the Banyan Tree Bangkok website.

Visitor Reviews
Vertigo and moon bar at Banyan Tree Hotel 61st floor is the best rooftop bars in Bangkok for me with an amazing panoramic view of the city skyline. the atmosphere is very romantic and luxurious especially at the night. I went there with my Japanese friend on a full moon night and seeing the full moon right in front of us made the experience even more special and memorable. People can enjoy rooftop dining, drink cocktails, take photos of the city and the moon and relax with friends or partners. Nearby places include Lumphini Park, Silom Road, and the Sathorn area, which are easy to visit before or after coming here. However, the prices are quite expensive around 800+/person(depends on the person), it can be crowded on weekends and the experience depends on the weather. Visitors should be aware of the dress code (no flipflop and wear smart casual or formal). To get there, you can take BTS to Chong nonsi or Sala Daeng or MRT to Lumphini station exit2, then take a taxi or motorbike to Banyan Tree Hotel, or you can drive there by yourself and park for free at the hotel parking. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to couples, tourist, or anyone who wants a special and unforgettable night in Bangkok.
Among the many rooftop bars and restaurants in Bangkok, Vertigo is one I can confidently recommend. Located on a high floor, it offers an exceptional sense of openness with panoramic views over the city, making it a place where you naturally feel, “If I’m going to a rooftop, this is the one I want to choose.” You can dine on the restaurant floor as well, but personally, I strongly recommend heading to the actual rooftop area. Spending time there while feeling the open sky and taking in the nighttime cityscape creates a special atmosphere, and the overall ambiance feels a step above many other rooftop venues. It works well for dates, anniversaries, or as a highlight of a Bangkok trip. One important thing to note is that because it is outdoors, you cannot go if it rains. Checking the weather forecast in advance is essential. As long as the weather cooperates, however, the views and atmosphere are both outstanding, making Vertigo a rooftop experience in Bangkok that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
🍸 This bar was such a highlight of our Thailand trip. It’s stylish and the music isn’t too loud. The views are breathtakingly beautiful and truly make you feel like you’re on top of the world. The food was very nice. I had the chicken burger and my mother the seabass. Sorbets were lovely as well, especially mango 🥭 We will 100% return here ✨

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
