We recently held a company gathering at the Rooftop and I must say, the venue exceeded our expectations! The moment we stepped in, we were amazed with the venue, from the open and closed areas and seating options. From the stunning ambiance to the remarkable staff, we couldn't have asked for a better place to host our company gathering.
