The 26th-floor bar of the W Hotel in Barceloneta — a spectacular panorama over the Mediterranean where the view, frankly, justifies the prices. The cocktails are solid, but order something refreshing to sip at sunset; the DJ sets are slick, and it turns club-like after dark with a dress code. Come at sunset, arriving 30-60 minutes early to secure a view spot, with reservations recommended. It is an experience rather than a serious cocktail destination — a sky-high panorama where the Mediterranean sunset is the real draw and the drinks are along for the ride. For a glamorous, view-first evening high above the waterfront, sunset is everything; time it right.
