A Rooftop Escape with Mediterranean Flavours and Skyline Views
Perched on the eighth floor of the Grand Hotel Central, La Terraza del Central offers a refined yet relaxed setting above the Gothic Quarter. With panoramic views stretching from El Born’s historic rooftops to the Mediterranean Sea, it is an ideal spot to unwind with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and expertly crafted cocktails.
By day, Balinese beds and lush greenery create a serene retreat by the infinity pool. As the sun sets, a gong signals the evening’s arrival, revealing a hidden 1920s sgraffito mural by Oleguer Junyent, visible only from this terrace. Thoughtfully designed lighting and a curated DJ soundtrack transform the space into an elegant nighttime destination.
The menu is a journey through Mediterranean flavours, featuring fried halloumi from Cyprus, hummus from Egypt, Greek chicken gyros, Italian burrata and pizzetas, and Spanish favourites like patatas bravas and Iberian ham. Vegan and Catalan-inspired options, including a wrap with escalivada and the Cerdanya burger, add to the diverse selection.
Whether basking in the sun or sipping cocktails under the stars, La Terraza del Central offers a sophisticated yet welcoming escape above Barcelona’s vibrant streets.
