Azotea is culturally Latin, inspired by the vast geographical landscape, architecture, fun loving people and local traditions. Located with views of the city, on entering you are transported to a place where music, entertainment and energy are at the core of its existence.
Latin music sets the stage, the energy and the mood of the space and its colourful culture. The open kitchen glows and the charcoal crackles. In the background, the chefs are seen mastering the Charcoal Grill.
Located atop the brand-new Hyatt Place in Sovereign square, Azotea is Casual, vibrant, a rooftop destination inspired by Latin culture. Its unique architecture, colourful, upbeat lifestyle and its distinctive food and drink.Steeped in history and age-old culture Azotea is designed to harness and celebrate the roots of the Latin culture.
