If you’re looking for the perfect Instagram photo and want to enjoy a dream vacation, keep reading. Today we bring you three jaw-dropping terraces that will not only take your breath away, but will also leave you with unforgettable memories. Are you going to take a look with us?
Riu Plaza España: located in the heart of the city
We begin our tour in Madrid, where in 2019 RIU inaugurated its first rooftop terrace: at the Riu Plaza España. On the 27th floor of this iconic building, you’ll find a spectacular glass balcony suspended 100 metres above Plaza de España! If you get vertigo, you might want to think twice.
After strolling along this impressive walkway and admiring the panoramic views from the viewpoints, we recommend you relax on the terrace and enjoy a sunset that has become one of Madrid’s must-sees. The 360º Rooftop Bar boasts an extensive cocktail menu, perfect for ending the day in style.
You can’t get to Madrid right now? Don’t worry! You can visit the hotel’s digital twin and enjoy all the services from home.
Riu Plaza Chicago: the Windy City from another perspective
If you visit the United States, Chicago is a gem you should discover. Getting lost in its avenues and discovering its secrets is quite an adventure. Plus, starting in the summer of 2024, you have a new home-from-home in the city: the Riu Plaza Chicago.
You can’t leave without going up to the top floor terrace and having a drink at The Rooftop bar. From there, you can take in the impressive views of the skyline. In addition, inspired by Madrid’s rooftop venue, you can walk along a transparent viewing platform suspended 88 metres up in the air. An experience for the brave!
Riu Plaza Guadalajara: the latest jewel in the crown
The year 2010 marked a milestone for RIU with the opening of its first urban establishment in the RIU Plaza line, and, just one year later, the only one to date in Mexico: the Riu Plaza Guadalajara.
Already a landmark in the city, the Three Wise Men brought us great Christmas news: the opening of a rooftop terrace at the hotel! Located at the highest point in the city, on the 41st floor of this skyscraper, the 360º terrace fuses elegance and gastronomy.
Here you can enjoy a menu that blends the best of Mexican and Spanish cuisine, with dishes like aguachiles, barbacoa tacos, and ham croquettes.
Want even more excitement? Its glass balcony is the highest of the three, suspended at a whopping 215 metres high! An adrenaline rush you’re sure to remember forever.
All three hotels have the RIU Plaza quality seal and are located in the heart of the city, perfect for exploring. In addition, all nightly rates include a buffet breakfast.
Are you packing your bags yet? If your destination is one of these three hotels, don’t forget to pack a thirst for adventure. Because on the RIU rooftops one thing is certain: you will have a moving experience. We’ll be waiting for you!
