Above the street. Above the paseo.

Source confidence

official

Official source exists, community signal still worth checking.

Hours confidence

source-backed

Official JSON-LD from Esme Hotel The Roof page: Mon-Sun 11:00am - 10:00pm. Phone: +1 786-605-9655.

Weather caveat

source-backed

The Roof is a rooftop pool restaurant and cocktail lounge with daily 11am-10pm hours. Miami Beach is exposed, and no source-backed evidence of permanent cover, fans, or misters was found on the official page. Best suited for fair-weather evenings and late afternoons; summer storms and hurricane season remain a risk. The official page supports rooftop-pool and private-cabana context, which is enough to score heat mitigation but not rain operability.
