As pastel dresses and tailored suit-clad guests poured into the chic lobby of the AC Hotel, they were whisked away, up 13 floors, to the flower-filled penthouse level known as Ciel Social Club. The fanciful lounge is encased by glass doors, which opened to reveal warm summer evening air, a setting sun, and a sky filled with hues of pink, and purple. With a recent win for ‘Best Rooftop In DC’, as voted by Modern Luxury DC readers, Ciel Social Club was the lavish location for Modern Luxury DC’s 2022 Best of City event.
