Festivals, performances, special cocktails, live music, exhibitions, children’s activities, culinary offerings… This week, much of the best events that will take place in Barcelona can be found a few feet above the ground, on the terraces of the best Barcelona hotels.

For the second year, the Barcelona Hotel Guild, jointly with some fifty institutions and the City Council, has organised the Barcelona Week of Hotel Terraces, an initiative that aims to allow locals to explore the places that until recently were reserved exclusively for guests and tourists.

In this edition, five of the most emblematic hotels of Passeig de Gràcia have joined the week-long event with a wide and varied programme of outdoor activities, including DJ sessions at the Hotel Omm, tasting chocolates atn the Majestic Hotel&Spa, magic shows on the terraces of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Hotel Condes de Barcelona, or the presentation at the Casa Fuster of the novel Tienes que control by José Sanclemente.

As you can see, there’s plenty to do. So that you don’t miss a single event, we recommend you consult the activities at wwww.avistadhotel.cat, where you can also find all the information about participating in the photo contest “A vista d’hotel” and win cameras, nights in a hotel, and other prizes.

In short, with the Barcelona Week of Hotel Terraces you have the perfect excuse to get on the rooftops of the city’s most exclusive buildings and enjoy some stunning views.
