Manizales, a City Closer to the Sky
Manizales is a small city located in the Central Cordillera in the central-western region of Colombia. Founded in 1849 by settlers from Antioquia, it is a city of steep streets, beautiful sunsets, and stunning views, forming part of the Coffee Triangle.
Enjoying the city view with a coffee, drink, or dinner has become one of the most popular activities among locals and tourists, which is why today Hotel Benidorm wants to recommend 5 rooftops you can't miss:
La Azotea Rooftop
On the 15th floor of the BCH building, right on Bolívar Square, you'll find La Azotea Rooftop. A place designed to be enjoyed with friends and family, with elegant and sophisticated decor, it offers a sensory experience and cosmopolitan cuisine. Known as a restaurant of emotions, it features top-tier pastries, an exceptional bar, and coffee grown by local farmers.
Rooftop La Cúpula
Located in the heart of Manizales' historic center, on the top floor of an iconic city building, Rooftop La Cúpula offers a unique setting where food, cocktails, and great music come together. Classified as a Cultural Heritage Site (BIC), this spot contrasts the busy city center with the warmth of lights and music. They host national and international electronic music DJs weekly, with live performances starting on Thursdays.
Torre 2160
Torre 2160 is located on 12 de Octubre Avenue in the Chipre neighborhood, in the ?torre al cielo? or Chipre Tower, a food court and entertainment plaza. It offers a 360° view, one of the highest and most privileged in the city. This is the ideal spot to chase sunsets and try Sky Walk (a harnessed walk around the viewing platform). Visitors can enjoy Colombian cuisine and international dishes.
Pasión del Cielo
On the 12th floor of the Capitalia building, in the city?s nightlife area, Manizales' ?El Cable,? you?ll find the Pasión del Cielo restaurant-bar. In addition to offering a 360° view of this part of the capital of Caldas, it offers a variety of drinks, cocktails, national and international liquors, bakery products, and coffee brought from La Cabaña, Caldas (a specialty coffee you can enjoy in different preparations). They feature live music on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Bretton Manizales
Bretton is a new gastronomic proposal in the city of Manizales, a sophisticated yet authentic place that offers art and fun but also serves as a space for business; it is located on the terrace of the Pranha Business Center, on the 11th floor.
A restaurant offering a privileged view of the city, its mountains, and the snow-capped volcano; a chef who plays with flavors, colors, and tributes in his dishes with various Colombian themes, pleasant music, eye-catching and sophisticated decor?this restaurant is a must-visit.
The best part of watching beautiful sunsets and enjoying a panoramic view of our city is that all the places mentioned are just minutes away from our Hotel Benidorm.
