Stunning city views, craft cocktails, and seasonal decor
"D.C. hospitality group Versus (HEIST, Casta’s Rum Bar, and Morris American Bar) brought a polished, penthouse-style hotspot to the top of AC Hotel Washington DC Convention Center. The scene-y, indoor-outdoor setup with stunning city vistas stirs intricate cocktails behind a marble bar to go along with a list of small plates. Meanwhile, AC’s latest D.C. hotel in Navy Yard is home to another top rooftop contender (Smoke & Mirrors) with a direct view of the U.S. Capitol. Ciel is gearing up to debut a fun new rooftop setup in Capitol Hill this spring, too." - Tierney Plumb
"A night on the town is another ideal way to welcome warmer weather after months of freezing temps. At Ciel, the focus is on unique cocktails that capitalize on bold and fun flavors of the season. The real star of the experience is taking in all the beautifully strung decorations the team so carefully adorns the space with each spring." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Who says you can’t celebrate the gals on Valentine’s Day? Ciel is bringing back its beloved Galentine’s Day party on Friday, February 14 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. RSVP for a complimentary shooter upon entry and a custom Valentine-themed cocktail menu sponsored by Código." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Ciel’s newest pop-up “Ciel en la Selva” transports guests to the vibrant jungles of Central America. In partnership with Illegal mezcal and Patrón Cristalino, the entirely new fall menu features creative cocktails like: “What Rhymes with Orange” (Maker’s Mark bourbon, acidulated carrot, lime, pineapple, angostura bitter) and the “Amarga Caliente” (Ilegal Joven, ginger, fig jam, vermouth, lime, Tajin)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"You've had a long week, so why not unwind with watered-down cocktails and a little adult attention on the penthouse floor of the AC Hotel? Swap your office attire for your favorite designer outfit before heading to Ciel Social Club where folks are grinding to Doja Cat's latest single rather than enjoy the rooftop views (it's just downtown). It's the kind of place you're bound to meet new people—even if it's just a Meta policy specialist you're never gonna speak to again." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
