Rooftop terraces of Barcelona

With summer at our doorstep, the time is approaching to get into those bikinis and slip into something to keep you cool throughout the hot days and nights. Drinks at the beach, bars, chiringuitos are all welcomed but more than ever, it’s that time of the year when cocktails and rooftops combine and make for a great time in Barcelona. Luxury rooftop terraces featuring pools and lounges are on the skyline and on your mind, so even for non-hotel guests you can enjoy the benefits of freshly made cocktails and the best of the Mediterranean food. Here are just a few suggestions of where to head this summer:
