Good balance of polish and actual energy. Works when you want a hotel rooftop that still feels alive later in the evening.

Booking reality
Strong downtown option when you want hotel polish without losing energy.
Source confidence
official
Official source exists, community signal still worth checking.
Hours confidence
source-backed
Official site says rooftop season begins May 16, with select weekends in April when weather allows. Reliable seasonal signal, but nightly close time still needs direct verification.
Weather caveat
needs-verification
Best on clear evenings when downtown feels lively and worth seeing from above.
