nhow Hotels & Resorts is welcoming the summer season with a new collection of rooftop events, outdoor dining concepts and lifestyle experiences across its global portfolio, transforming terraces and sky-high venues into vibrant social hubs.
The initiative forms part of the brand’s Urban Bloom campaign, which aims to extend nhow’s signature mix of design, culture, music and gastronomy beyond hotel interiors and into some of the world’s most dynamic urban destinations.
Rotterdam’s Waterfront Social Hub
At nhow Rotterdam, Elvy Gastrobar returns as one of the city’s standout waterfront destinations. Located on the seventh floor overlooking the Maas River and the iconic Erasmus Bridge, the venue combines panoramic views with a lively social atmosphere.
Throughout the summer, DJs will perform on Friday and Saturday evenings, while guests can explore Tasty Travels, a globally inspired food and cocktail concept designed to showcase international flavours through creative dishes and drinks.
World-Class Cocktails Arrive in Lima
Outside Europe, nhow Lima is elevating the city’s cocktail scene with Poolbar by Handshake, a rooftop venue located on the 13th floor.
Developed in partnership with Handshake Speakeasy, recently named the number one bar in The World’s 50 Best Bars in the Americas ranking, the concept combines innovative mixology, local ingredients and contemporary design.
By day, the venue offers a relaxed poolside atmosphere, while evenings bring a more energetic social scene with music and nightlife experiences.
Music Takes Centre Stage in Berlin
Positioned on the banks of the River Spree, nhow Berlin continues its strong connection to music and creative culture.
The BPM Bar returns as an outdoor venue featuring curated DJ sets, signature cocktails and a programme that blends Berlin’s renowned music scene with international influences.
The hotel has also revived its Lobby Loco concept, launching the season with Salsa an der Spree, a festive event featuring live salsa performances, dancing and entertainment along the waterfront.
Milan’s Rooftop Transformation
In Milan, Vertigo has undergone a complete redesign for the 2026 season.
The rooftop destination now presents itself as an immersive sensory experience inspired by the concept of a “new planet”, inviting visitors to become active participants rather than spectators.
The venue includes an infinity pool, rooftop bar, solarium and restaurant serving innovative cocktails and contemporary cuisine while reflecting Milan’s creative and fashion-driven identity.
Mediterranean Nights in Marseille
Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Sky Bar at nhow Marseille remains one of the city’s most iconic rooftop destinations.
This summer, the venue will host a series of Summer Sky evenings featuring after-work gatherings, DJ performances, live piano sessions, themed parties and poolside events.
Guests can also enjoy seasonal cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired tapas while taking in sunset views across the coastline.
Wellness Above Frankfurt
At nhow Frankfurt, the NFT Skybar expands its outdoor offering for the summer season from its position on the 47th floor of the ONE Tower.
One of Germany’s highest rooftop venues, the bar is introducing a programme of wellness-focused events in partnership with local brands, including rooftop yoga and Pilates sessions with Lululemon.
Morning fitness experiences will be complemented by brunch offerings and panoramic skyline views.
Celebrating Urban Culture
Across all destinations, nhow’s summer programme highlights the brand’s commitment to combining music, design, gastronomy and local culture in unique urban settings.
While each property offers a distinct interpretation shaped by its city and surroundings, together they create a network of rooftop venues and outdoor experiences designed to encourage creativity, social connection and memorable summer moments.
