LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar has launched an exciting new weekly event, ‘Viva la Fiesta’, bringing a vibrant slice of Spain to the Bangkok skyline. Located on the 33rd and 34th floors of Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel, the tapas bar now offers guests an unforgettable midweek experience every Wednesday evening from 7 pm onwards.

‘Viva la Fiesta’, which translates to “long live the party,” combines the flavours of Spain with music, performance, and dramatic rooftop views. The celebration features guest DJs spinning Spanish-modern house and tribal beats, live percussionists, and a giant pan of paella that draws the eye and appetite alike.

Crafting the culinary magic is Madrid-born Chef Juan Ignacio García Racionero, who has worked at renowned establishments like Michelin-starred Saddle and Diverxo, ranked among the top three in the 'World’s 50 Best Restaurants' 2023 list. His tapas menu is a tribute to traditional Spanish gastronomy, enhanced with modern flair.

Signature dishes include ‘Pulpo A Feira’—octopus with potatoes and spicy paprika, ‘Chanquetes fritos’—fried fish with fried eggs and roasted peppers, and ‘Croquetas de ternera y tartar de tuna’—a unique pairing of oxtail croquettes and tuna tartar. Guests can also savour ‘Plato de jamon’ served with tomato-rubbed bread and a Spanish omelette elevated with creamy potato foam, truffle, and Idiazabal cheese.

At the heart of the event is the giant paella pan, fired up with rotating flavours like seafood, pork, chicken, mushrooms, and Padrón peppers—adding a theatrical element to the rooftop dining experience.

Complementing the food are refreshing cocktails like ‘Agua de Valencia’, a lively blend of orange juice, cava, vodka, and gin, along with Spanish favourites like Sangria.

Adding to the energy of the night, the venue encourages an optional dress code of red, black, or bold fashion. The best-dressed guest wins a complimentary signature drink, embracing the spirit of Spanish celebration.

Since opening on September 15, 2023, LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar has gained a reputation as a go-to destination for authentic Spanish tapas, signature sangrias, and high-energy rooftop experiences. Guests on the 33rd floor are treated to a unique visual spectacle—views into the transparent infinity pool located on the 34th floor above.

By night, the 34th-floor rooftop transforms into an open-air lounge complete with sunbeds, a rooftop bar, and a contemporary take on Bangkok’s iconic Giant Swing structure. Meanwhile, the bar’s design on the 33rd floor, with its sharp angles and cabling, pays homage to the city’s famous Rama VIII Bridge.

LUZ Bangkok is open daily from 4 pm to midnight, and reservations are available.

As part of the renowned Meliá Hotels International group, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit blends cosmopolitan energy with leisure-driven luxury. With events like ‘Viva la Fiesta’, the hotel’s rooftop tapas bar is fast becoming a symbol of culinary and cultural fusion in Thailand’s capital.
