El complejo cuenta con un bar y un restaurante en la azotea.

OBS

restaurante de azotea; restaurante en la azotea: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los términos "azotea" y "terraza" son alternativas al anglicismo "rooftop". [...] En textos en español es cada vez más frecuente encontrar este anglicismo, así como los más precisos "rooftop restaurant" y "rooftop bar", para designar a las terrazas de la última planta de los edificios en las que hay bares o restaurantes. En estos casos lo apropiado sería escribir bar o restaurante y añadir de azotea o en la azotea, dependiendo del contexto.
