In hospitality, everything revolves around experience. And it is precisely these venues where rooftops offer untapped potential. More and more hospitality venues are discovering how a well-designed rooftop terrace adds value — not only for guests, but also for the brand.
Why do rooftop terraces make the difference for hotels, restaurants and cafés?
- An elevated experience
A rooftop terrace creates a sense of exclusivity — a place where guests can step away from the hustle and bustle, with an atmosphere and views you simply cannot achieve at street level. - Higher revenue per square metre
A roof that once generated no return becomes a profitable space for drinks, dining or events. - Smart design & ease of maintenance
High-quality roofing systems, such as Dreen®Ceramica, provide a stable, safe and durable surface. They are also easy to clean and maintain. - A defining feature of the overall concept
A rooftop terrace often becomes the calling card of a hotel or restaurant — the place that lingers in visitors’ memories.
Examples of rooftop terraces in hospitality
At the rooftop terrace of Horecapaviljoen ’t Zand in Alphen, nature, views and experience take centre stage. The terrace is finished with Dreen®Magna in a warm tone, perfectly complementing the overall look and feel.
Van der Valk in Wassenaar also opted for rooftop terraces. The hotel expanded its capacity through renovation, with rooftop terraces forming part of the new-build. The hotel chose to lay the terrace in a distinctive pattern:
“Given the scale of the surface area, we felt it was important to introduce a pattern to break up the lines.”
A final example is the luxurious Hotel Berendonck in Wijchen. Every detail in this hotel has been carefully considered to provide guests with peace, luxury and comfort. The rooftop terraces form a seamless extension of this experience.
A smart investment
Rooftop terraces are no longer an added luxury. They are a smart investment for anyone who takes guest experience seriously. They transform unused space into places that bring people together, create atmosphere, and add real value.
