Rooftop review roundup: Though it’s only one floor up, its elevated position on the promenade creates an illusion of greater height. Here, you’ll find an array of cocktails that perfectly capture that holiday feeling. Despite some initial confusion over the name, I’ve included all versions for clarity! One interpretation refers to sunset, which makes perfect sense given the spectacular sunsets witnessed from this spot.

Rooftop review roundup: We nearly stayed at this hotel as the views are so stunning but in the winter it’s only open at night. But even at night the city looked incredible. The bar is completely covered but there is a tiny balcony you can stand outside on. In the summer the whole thing is open air which would make it one of the most spectacular summer rooftop destinations.

Rooftop review roundup: This is one of my top 5 rooftop experiences, this venue offers it all. I first came here in 2020 and we were able to BYO and just sit and watch sunset to the most sensational views. So when I came back in 2023 I was so excited to return and it was everything I remembered and more. With breathtaking views – from the sea right round to the whole city. There is also a pool, a jacuzzi, a bar, and a restaurant, it truly has everything one could desire—including friendly staff. It’s a shame they’re not open for lunch during the winter months, as I can’t imagine wanting to go anywhere else!
