M E M B E R A D V I C E All-Weather Rooftop Bars Hit New Heights Crowne Plaza Adelaide More and more South Australian hotels are creating rooftop bars that can be enjoyed by patrons all year round, regardless of the weather. But rooftop bar designs need to offer more than just a great view. From innovative structural elements to clever design choices, local hotels are creating versatile bars that can withstand scorching heat, pouring rain, or freezing cold. One approach worth serious consideration is to work with the elements, not against them. That means choosing furniture and materials that doesn’t just weather well, the weathering actually becomes part of the look and feel. In other words, the wear and tear becomes part of the overall effect. For example, choose timber, metal coatings and other finishes that create a rust effect, while still maintaining strength form and function. FURNITURE AND DECOR The furniture and furnishings you choose for your rooftop bar play a significant role in creating atmosphere. • Don't be afraid to get creative with your decor choices, as they can be a great way to make your rooftop bar stand out from the competition. • For many venues, the goal is to create a space that is visually appealing and Instagramworthy, as this will attract more customers and generate buzz. • But it’s important to consider both style and functionality. Opt for materials that are durable and weather-resistant, as your rooftop bar will be exposed to the elements. Metal, hardwoods, outdoor grade finishes that are UV resistant and polyethylene are popular choices for outdoor furniture due to their durability and resistance to fading and weathering. • For a more laid-back atmosphere, you may choose to incorporate more comfortable seating options, such as plush sofas and oversized lounge chairs. • On the other hand, if your target audience is looking for a lively social scene, you might opt for high-top tables and bar stools to encourage mingling and interaction among guests. • Additionally, consider the comfort of your guests. Choose seating options that suit your target demographic. For older patrons, they need to be ergonomic and provide ample back support, while young crowds might be comfortable sitting on a wooden box! MAXIMISING SPACE Rooftop bars often come with limited space, making it crucial to maximise every inch available. Consider how you can make the most of the available square metres, while still providing comfortable seating and circulation areas for your guests. • One effective way to maximise space is by utilising multifunctional furniture. Look for pieces that can serve multiple purposes, such as benches with built-in storage or tables that can be easily folded and stacked when not in use. • Additionally, consider the layout of your bar. By positioning it in a central location, you can create a focal point that encourages social interaction and minimises congestion. 20 | Hotel SA | www.ahasa.asn.au Back to Contents
