Infinity Pool Day Pass Saigon: A Rooftop Pool Day at ROOTY

A day by a rooftop infinity pool sounds like something reserved for hotel guests, a perk you unlock only after checking in for the night. It is not. At ROOTY Bar, on the fifteenth floor of The Myst Đồng Khởi, you can buy a day pass and spend the whole afternoon by a 24 metre infinity edge high above central Saigon, no room key required. This guide covers the appeal of a rooftop pool day, then the practical part in full: what the ROOTY day pass costs, exactly what it includes, the hours, and how to plan the day so you make the most of it.

At a glance. ROOTY Bar sits on the fifteenth floor rooftop of The Myst Đồng Khởi at 4-6-8 Hồ Huấn Nghiệp, Phường Sài Gòn, TP.HCM. Non-staying guests are welcome.

A rooftop pool day, no room key needed

There is a quiet assumption that a hotel pool belongs only to the people staying upstairs. At ROOTY that is not the case. The rooftop welcomes non-staying guests on a day pass, which means a pool afternoon in the centre is open to anyone: someone who lives in the city, a friend visiting for the weekend, a couple who fancy a swim without booking a room, a family looking for somewhere to cool off that is not a public pool.

The idea is simple. You pay for a ticket, you come up, and the fifteenth floor is yours for the day within the pool hours. No overnight stay, no minimum spend beyond the pass itself. It turns a rooftop that most people only picture at night, drink in hand, into a place you can enjoy in full daylight, when the water is the main event rather than the cocktails.

The pool and the view

The pool itself runs 24 metres, long enough to actually swim rather than just stand in, with an infinity edge that drops the water line into the skyline. From the fifteenth floor you look out over the rooftops of central Saigon toward the Saigon River, the kind of outlook that usually costs a night’s stay to wake up to. Sun loungers line the deck. You can order from the bar without leaving your seat, and the drink that comes with your ticket is yours to enjoy whenever you like.

What makes it work as a day out, rather than a quick dip, is the height and the calm. Fifteen floors up, the traffic is a distant hum. You swim a few lengths, dry off on a lounger, order a coffee, read for an hour, slide back in when the sun gets warm. It is the rhythm of a resort pool, dropped into the middle of the city. If you want the fuller picture of the rooftop and what it becomes after dark, our ROOTY rooftop bar guide walks through the whole floor.

How the day pass works: price and what is included

The pricing is straightforward, and worth stating plainly. A day pass for an adult is 375,000++ VND per ticket. A day pass for a child under 1.3 m tall is 195,000++ VND per ticket. The “++” means service charge and VAT are added on top, so the final figure on your bill sits a little above the headline number.

Here is what the ticket actually gets you:

• The infinity pool. Full use of the 24 metre rooftop pool and the loungers on the deck, within the pool hours.
• One free drink (adult ticket). The adult day pass includes one drink of your choice: a beer, a coffee, a juice or a soft drink. You do not pay extra for it.
• The gym. Access to the fitness room, if you want to train before or after your swim.
• The sauna. Use of the sauna, part of the same ticket.
• The steam bath. Use of the steam bath as well.

So the pass is not only pool access. For one ticket you get the pool, a drink, the gym, the sauna and the steam bath, which makes a full afternoon of it rather than a single swim. For a family, the child rate under 1.3 m keeps it reasonable to bring the little ones along.

Hours and what to bring

The pool is open 07:00 to 18:00, daily. Note that this is earlier than the bar closes: the water is a daytime pleasure here, and by six in the evening the pool itself winds down while the rooftop shifts into its evening life. Plan around that and the day runs smoothly.

A few practical notes worth having before you come up:

• Come earlier for a lounger. The best spots on the deck go first, especially on a warm weekend afternoon. An earlier arrival gives you the pick of the loungers and the quieter water.
• Bring your swimwear. Pack a swimsuit, and a change of clothes if you plan to stay on into the evening. A towel is on hand at the pool.
• Use your free drink. The adult ticket includes one drink, so there is no need to buy your first coffee or beer. Order it when you settle in, or save it for later in the afternoon.
• Sunset is after pool hours. The pool closes at 18:00, which is before the best of the evening light. If you want the sunset, plan to move from the pool to the bar for that stretch rather than expecting to swim through it.

From the pool to the bar

Because the pool closes at 18:00 and the rooftop keeps going, the natural shape of the day is a swim in the afternoon and a drink as the light turns. You do not have to leave when the pool does. Dry off, change, and the same floor becomes an evening bar with Saigon-inspired cocktails and the city lighting up below you.

It is a genuinely good way to spend a day in the centre, and it lines up with the rest of the rooftop’s calendar. On the big nights the view earns its keep: our guide to the National Day fireworks from the rooftop is worth a look if you are timing a visit. And once you are back down at street level, the Saigon riverfront is a short walk away for an evening stroll.
