The Barcelona Hotel Guild, with the collaboration of Familia Torres and the support of the Barcelona City Council, is organizing for the eighth consecutive year the Barcelona Hotel Terraces Week, which will take place from June 1 to 10. This initiative, which boasts a record participation of 83 hotels, offers a total of 285 activities open to all citizens. More than 160,000 people have already attended the more than 1,000 activities of the seven previous editions of Terraces Week, which has already become an unmissable event to welcome summer.
In this edition, attendees will be able to enjoy a wide variety of activities, such as the Instagram style workshop by @CarlesAlmagro (Midmost) or the barber shop by Vicente Moretó, with swing by The Happy Noise playing in the background (Negresco Princess). In addition, there will also be a Mae West Cinema Cycle (Vincci Mae), the facial diagnosis by iS Clinical (The One Barcelona) and a styling workshop by Lupo Barcelona and @Mercetaus (Murmuri Barcelona).
Throughout the week, citizens will also be able to taste a wide variety of wines and spirits from Familia Torres and enjoy about thirty gastronomic activities such as the cocktail masterclass with Torres 15 brandy and El Gobernador pisco at the H10 Universitat; a blind tasting of wines made by Familia Torres (Vincci Gala); the cocktail masterclass – and aperitif (Gallery Hotel); the Oysters & Gin pairing masterclass at the NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderón; healthy cocktails with music at the Novotel Barcelona City; or the Padró & Co vermouth workshop, at the H10 Madison.
Instagram Contest
In addition to the different activities, this year the charity photo contest returns, challenging Instagram users to share a photo of the event on their profile and tag it with #SetmanaTerrasses18 and follow and tag @mesqhotels and @bodegastorres.
The contest has two themes: Hotels and Familia Torres. In the case of the Hotels theme, users must photograph one of the participating terraces, using the hashtag, as well as the tags. In the Torres theme, those who want to participate will have to photograph a Familia Torres product and use the hashtag corresponding to each drink (#CelestreCrianza, #ViñaEsmeralda, #JeanLeon, #7Magnífics, #Torres15, #piscoElGobernador, #Sloanesgin), along with #SetmanaTerrasses18, and follow and tag @mesqhotels and @bodegastorres.
The prize will be one night at the El Palace hotel and, if more than a thousand tagged photographs are submitted, the organization will donate 1,000 euros to "Business With Social Value", an event that since 2012 aims to facilitate the social sustainability of companies and the economic sustainability of social entities through the purchase of products and services. Behind this action is Icària Iniciatives Socials, a non-profit organization founded in 1976, which focuses mainly on the education and care of people with intellectual disabilities, from childhood to old age, to achieve greater social and labor integration.
