At the Grand Hotel Central, the Skybar offers a rare view of Barcelona in its entirety. The place has a very intimate atmosphere that makes it quite romantic, especially when the sun sets. Be aware that guests who are not staying at the hotel can only visit from 8pm and must pay an admission fee that includes a drink. But it is truly worth it!

In a typical house of the XVIIth century, the rooftop terrace of this place is truly something! In complete contrast with the interior of the building made of concrete walls and an industrial décor, the rooftop bar transports you to the beach with straw curtains, colorful wooden signs and surf boards hanging on the walls. The atmosphere is youthful and energizing, and you won’t be disappointed with their drinks!
