ACHM Hotels by Marriott welcomes summer with the opening of its terraces, featuring poolside rooftops, seaside gardens and urban oases across six of its destinations.
With summer officially underway, all we want now is to make the most of the warm weather. In the city, that means finding the coolest places to escape to outdoors and making the most of the season. That is why the summer terraces of ACHM Hotels by Marriott, the leading hotel management company in Southern Europe, are opening their doors in some of Spain’s most prominent destinations, where gastronomy, mixology and setting come together to welcome the new season.
The offering brings together poolside rooftops, seaside gardens and urban oases across the Costa del Sol, the Mediterranean Coast, Galicia, La Rioja, Madrid and Mallorca. Six very different settings, but all with the same purpose: inviting guests to pause, take in the horizon and discover that the best summer stories often begin outdoors.
Casa Calma: the most authentic Mediterranean summer on the Costa del Sol
On the Costa del Sol, Grand Hotel Las Dunas, Autograph Collection, captures the most authentic expression of Mediterranean summer through the terrace of its gastronomic concept, Casa Calma. By the sea, this space invites guests to enjoy long lunches and after-dinner gatherings centred around cuisine based on local produce and Mediterranean flavours.
Its garden with a swimming pool extends the feeling of relaxation throughout the day, while the panoramic viewpoint offers one of the most special moments of the day at sunset, when the signature Golden Glow cocktail accompanies the final rays of light over the horizon.

El Torreón Rooftop: an urban oasis in the heart of Valencia
On the Mediterranean Coast, the rooftop of Palacio de Santa Clara, Autograph Collection becomes one of Valencia’s most attractive spaces. El Torreón Rooftop combines the building’s Art Nouveau character with an artistic and relaxed atmosphere, creating a true urban oasis in the heart of the city.
Surrounded by exotic lemon trees, a swimming pool with privileged views and a carefully curated cocktail bar, this elevated garden has become the perfect destination for enjoying summer afternoons and taking in the city from a different perspective.

Universal: Vigo reopens its most iconic terrace
In northern Spain, AC Hotel Palacio Universal is bringing back one of Vigo’s most iconic spaces with the reopening of Universal. With more than 290 m² and capacity for 200 people, this terrace becomes one of the city’s new meeting points and a must-visit this season.
The gastronomic offering is led by Silabario Gastronomía, which takes centre stage in the space, complemented by privileged views over the estuary. With this reopening, residents and visitors alike can once again enjoy a renewed terrace where gastronomy and landscape come together to celebrate the longest days of the year.

Palacio Tondón: landscape and tranquillity by the Ebro
In Briñas, in the heart of La Rioja, Palacio Tondón, Autograph Collection offers an experience defined by landscape and tranquillity. Its panoramic terrace overlooks the Ebro River, surrounded by vineyards and mountains that capture the essence of the region, in a setting where gastronomy, wine and nature coexist in perfect harmony.
The setting is equally privileged for enjoying the hotel’s culinary offering, celebrating special occasions or simply taking in the landscape as the sun sets over the vineyards. During the summer months, the space also becomes the stage for “Live Music by the Ebro”, an outdoor concert series that adds a cultural dimension to the experience. The programme includes performances by Honey Tunes on 10 July, Sonia Vera Swing Band on 24 July and Arland The Peppers on 7 August.

AC Hotel Atocha hides a green retreat in the heart of Madrid
Madrid also has unexpected summer retreats. Just a few metres from the frenetic pace of the capital, the recently renovated AC Hotel Atocha hides a landscaped interior terrace of more than 100 square metres that has become one of its main attractions.
Surrounded by greenery and designed as a place to disconnect from the urban bustle, this space reflects the hotel’s new chapter and its commitment to a more contemporary, relaxed and sophisticated experience. A corner to enjoy a drink outdoors and discover a new way of experiencing summer in the heart of the city.

Hacienda Son Antem: discovering Mallorca at your own pace
The route ends in Palma de Mallorca, at Hacienda Son Antem Golf Resort, Autograph Collection, which offers a slower-paced way to enjoy the island. Reserved for guests, this terrace provides an intimate and light-filled setting connected to an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle.
Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, golf courses and open landscapes, the resort invites guests to slow down and connect with a side of Mallorca far removed from the urban noise. The experience is complemented by the Summer Markets, held every Thursday until the end of August, as well as a live music programme from Monday to Saturday.

Summer is best experienced outdoors
The terraces of ACHM Hotels by Marriott are more than just outdoor spaces: they are each hotel’s own interpretation of summer. By the sea at Casa Calma, among lemon trees at El Torreón Rooftop, overlooking the estuary at Universal, facing the Ebro at Palacio Tondón, hidden away from the bustle at AC Hotel Atocha or surrounded by golf courses at Hacienda Son Antem, each terrace offers its own way to pause and take in the horizon.
Six destinations, one shared certainty: this summer, the best stories begin outdoors.
