#TroveOn: EON Heli Bar located at the 51st floor of Bitexco Financial Tower overlooks the glittering city of Saigon.

After a tiring day of roaming the streets of Cho Lon, Saigon's Chinatown, my friend and I headed to the swanky part of the city to grab a drink at a bar (basically we just wanted to get some shots of the skyline and technically just paid to get shots of it) as part of our 23rd birthday celebration.

EON Heli Bar is a great vantage point to get shots of the skyline.

Seen here is the Saigonese skyline succumbing to the night.

Hotel Majestic Saigon

10/10 Excellent

"The Majestic was in incredible condition considering we happed to be staying during its 100th anniversary!! I had stayed in the Majestic, and the nearby Dong Khoi hotels back in the early 1990’s, and I was thrilled I could bring my family here at this time for Christmas, and they could enjoy the Majestic as well. The Dong Khoi hotel seems to be closed, but the original Beautiful building still exists which is Great! The Majestic’s hotel staff, from the Front Desk, to Housekeeping, to the Restaurants, and the pool/gym could not have been more helpful and nice. We Will be back!! (It’s our daughter’s new favorite hotel, so Thank you!) Have a Fantastic New Year (2026), and All the Best!! Bruce"
