The Red Lighthouse Rooftop Bar – a beacon of taste and design suspended over the Gulf of Poets

Overlooking the enchanting Gulf of Poets, with views embracing both the sea and the Ligurian mountains, La Spezia hosts a new jewel of elegance and atmosphere: the Red Lighthouse Rooftop Bar, an exclusive panoramic terrace on the ninth floor of the NH La Spezia hotel. It is the only one within 50 km along the coast to offer such a spectacular perspective—a place where maritime design meets the creativity of mixology and the flavors of Ligurian tradition.

The name pays homage to the iconic Red Lighthouse, symbol of the city and landmark for those arriving from the sea. Everything here recalls a constant dialogue with water: from the wood-effect flooring evoking a ship’s deck, to the sand and sea-green tones of the furnishings, to the soft lights that, at sunset, transform the terrace into a true platform suspended between sky and waves. Open both to hotel guests and the public, it is the perfect spot for a romantic aperitif, an elegant after-dinner, or an evening with friends with the sea within sight.

The gastronomic offering is a journey through the flavors of Liguria: octopus salad, prawns with Tropea onion, pesto lasagnetta, sea bass all’isolana, baby octopus stew, and creamed cod mousse. Fresh and light dishes, designed to enhance seasonal ingredients and accompany signature drinks.

The absolute stars are the signature cocktails, inspired by the city and its lighthouse. Unmissable is “The Red Lighthouse”, with Select, passion fruit, Apricot Brandy, and chocolate bitters: a liquid tribute to the light that guides sailors. Also worth trying are “Guanta Na Magia”, an invitation to let go with tequila, Marendry, and spices, or “San Venerio”, dedicated to the patron saint of lighthouse keepers, with grappa, pistachio cream, and citrus. Non-alcoholic options, such as Tentacoli Leggendari, are equally surprising and refined—ideal for those who want an alternative without sacrificing taste.

Whether you choose an aperitif at sunset or an after-dinner under the stars, the Red Lighthouse Rooftop Bar offers a sensory experience in perfect harmony with the sea and the elegant soul of La Spezia.

A modern lighthouse that lights up Ligurian evenings with style, flavor, and a panorama that stays in the heart.
