The hotels, restaurants and bars of Madrid often induce guests to enjoy the long summer days and the heat with music, cocktails and good views from their terraces.  The concept is the same in many of the  hotels in Spain: to meet after work or at sunset and celebrate the arrival of the night in the company of  friends.

Many hotels are renewing their cocktail menu and offering a wide selection of combinations to attract guests.  The terrace of the Hotel Urban in Madrid has a drinks menu with 21 different versions of the most popular drink combination: the gin & tonic.  In this hotel there is a stylish atmosphere and the possibility of meeting some famous people.

The hotel ME Madrid which belongs to the Sol Meliá chain, situated in the central Santa Ana square, is also well known for its terraces and summer atmosphere with fantastic panoramic views of Madrid city centre, as well as the terrace of Hotel Room Mate Oscar.

Many establishments in Spain also offer the chance to hear live music late in the evening like the terrace of the Hotel Pulitzer in Barcelona. The hotel has a calendar of live concerts every Wednesday between May and September, which aims to promote new musical groups, most of which are jazz oriented.

The unique opportunity to enjoy the sunset with spectacular views is also the main attraction of the hotel Barceló Raval, in Barcelona, with 360 degree panoramic views of the city centre. The terrace of the ME Barcelona hotel and Barcelona W Hotel, as well as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the terrace of the Hotel Arts also offer the chance to admire the sunset over Barcelona.
