Rooftop review roundup: What a gem! What a cute, thoughtful, eclectic rooftop. Full of artefacts and quirky details this Cuban inspired décor that gives it its distinct character making it one of the most interesting rooftop bars yet. And the creativity didn’t stop there – their clever cocktails meant you could find one that matched you! I favoured the bubble bath and that rubber duck lives on back in London!

Rooftop review roundup: Breath-taking views like it’s neighbour Oromedon, it was hard to choose so I visited both. Stopping for afternoon drinks, the staff insisted I try their traditional beverage, the ‘Canellada’. A soft drink (yes that’s right soft!) made with Zia’s own cinnamon syrup and soda water. Rehydrating on a rooftop was certainly refreshing.

Rooftop review roundup: If you are chasing the highest point for sunset in Zia then you have found it. A spectacular sunset awaits. I had read some dubious reviews and so had opted to eat just down the hill but if I had been here for another sunset then I would have seen for myself if they were fair or not. So up to you too.
