Before heading up to the 16th floor of Binn Hotel, almost everyone arrives with the same questions: how do I book, what should I wear, is there a minimum age, how expensive is it? We’ve gathered the questions the Etro Rooftop team hears most often, organized by topic, so you arrive at your visit with everything already sorted out.
Reservations: how, when, and how far ahead
How do I book a table at Etro Rooftop?
The most direct way is through Binn Hotel’s website or via WhatsApp, where the team confirms availability based on the time, party size, and any special seating preference. For large groups or private events, it’s best to reach out at least a week ahead.
How far in advance should I book?
It depends on the time slot. For weekday midday, a few days’ notice is usually enough. For sunset and for Thursday through Saturday nights, it’s best to book at least two or three days ahead, and up to a week out for a specific date like a birthday. You can check our ultimate reservation guide to understand how to prioritize based on your occasion.
Is there a cost to make a reservation?
No, booking a table has no extra cost. What you’re billed for is whatever you order from the cocktail, wine, and food menu.
Can I cancel or change my reservation?
Yes, as long as you let the team know with reasonable notice, generally a few hours before your booked time, so they can reassign the table if there’s a waitlist.

What are Etro Rooftop’s hours?

What’s the best time to catch the sunset?
Between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., though it’s worth confirming the exact time depending on the season, since sunset shifts slightly throughout the year.
