10 incredible hotel rooftops to add to your travel bucket list

To say we are craving a holiday abroad is an understatement.

For those planning their next big trip, a new list could help when it comes to hotel inspiration. 

Ten rooftop hotels have made it onto Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice list for 2021, with many boasting standout features such as infinity pools and breathtaking city-scape views.

The winners were determined by an algorithm that analysed properties tagged with ‘rooftop bar’ or ‘rooftop terrace’ on Tripadvisor – along with the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings that mention ‘rooftop’ (as well as its synonyms).

And the result is a diverse list of spots, from all corners of the globe, each with their own impressive selling points.

These are the locations to add to your travel bucket list immediately…
