Pen Top is the current rooftop bar at The Peninsula New York, taking over the former Salon de Ning space on the 23rd floor. Rooftop Guide's 2026 listing confirms the rebrand, Peninsula Hotel address, smart-casual policy, shared plates, Tue-Sat evening hours, indoor/outdoor terrace setup, and seasonal winter domes on the west terrace. Keep the legacy Salon de Ning slug for now to avoid a broad data rewrite, but the displayed venue name should be Pen Top.
