A throwback at
Rooftop Week 2025

( June, 2025 )

Terraces are far more than mere outdoor spaces. At Yurbban Hotels, they are places for gathering, inspiration, and connecting with the city. During Terrace Week, we celebrated this unique perspective of Barcelona from above with a special programme where art took centre stage.

Live art on the terraces of Yurbban Hotels

As part of Terrace Week in Barcelona, our rooftops were transformed into creative stages featuring two live painting sessions that united contemporary art, the city, and shared experiences.

ABCD Session with visual artist Eskenazi

The ABCD Session with visual artist Adriana Eskenazi was a moment of collective creativity, unfolding on the rooftops of Barcelona. An intimate encounter where the artistic process was revealed to the public, inviting them to share the moment, the brushstrokes, and the inspiration in a unique setting. Art created live, with the city as a backdrop and the terrace as a point of connection.

Live Painting with Manuel Moranta: emotion and the city

The Live Painting session with Manuel Moranta turned the terrace into a living experience. With his intense and emotionally charged style, the artist transformed the space into a dialogue between art, people, and the urban landscape.

A moment to create, observe, and share, where art and the city converged under the same sky, reaffirming the terrace as an open and dynamic cultural space.

Terraces as cultural spaces in Barcelona

Terrace Week is an opportunity to rediscover these spaces from a fresh perspective. At Yurbban Hotels, we see our terraces as extensions of the city: places where things happen, and where perspectives, ideas, and disciplines intersect.

Championing art on hotel terraces is a way of enlivening the city from a local perspective, supporting contemporary artists, and offering authentic experiences to both guests and the local community.

Culture, the city, and the Yurbban experience

This special week reinforces our vision of hospitality: creating experiences that transcend mere accommodation. Experiences that connect with urban culture, creativity, and a conscious approach to the city.
Because at Yurbban Hotels we believe that terraces also tell stories, and that art is one of the finest ways to tell them.
