The Rooftop Terrace – El Sueña de Picasso

El Sueña de Picasso is one of our all-time favourite rooftops in Barcelona. The rooftop terrace features not only breathtaking views but also a stunning cocktail bar that remains open all day. It has a small swimming pool with a lounging area, a cosy fireplace to keep guests toasty during the winter months and live DJ performances every weekend.

The Serra’s own Michelin-Star Chef Marc Gascons have personally designed the terrace’s lunch and dinner menu which offers a selection of fresh, light dishes and sharing plates. However, it should be noted that food is only served on the terrace in the warmer months. Therefore, if you decide to visit in December, you may want to eat in one of the Serra’s other two impressive restaurants before heading up to the rooftop!

History and Architecture of The Serras Hotel

As is typical of many structures in the Gothic Quarter, the building that houses The Serra Hotel has a rich history. Dating back to 1846, the buildings façade was designed by Francesc Daniel Molina. The famous architect who also created Plaça Real – a gorgeous square just off La Rambla. The building was also home to Pablo Picasso‘s first studio, where, at the age of just 15 he painted ‘Ciencia y Caridad’ (Science and Charity) in 1897. This painting is most representative of Picasso’s work during his early training years.
