During the Spring and Summer period, the cool atmosphere invades the rooftop terrace: VISIT UP; an open and inviting space to listen to great music, and enjoy a drink under the night sky. There is nothing better than to go up to this oasis in the centre and forget about the heat, stress and the city hubbub. Every Wednesday during the opening season, there will be an event (you can make a reservation by e-mail at miercoles@doyouvisitbarcelona.com)

Skye Restaurant & Bar
Posted on April - 28 - 2010
The Unique Hotel is shaped like a giant boat, very impressive! The elevator takes you up 8 floors to the rooftop.

There’s also an open air pool, which is reserved for hotel guests during the day but is open to all at night, from 7PM.
DJs entertain with house music after 9PM to an international crowd. The scene is definitely more L.A. than Sao Paulo, down to the extravagant if not bizarre drinks like the wasabi martini, with Hollywood prices to match. An elevator providing a direct access to the bar gives a magnificent panoramic ride to the top.
