"The terrace at The Gwen Hotel features fire pits surrounded by couches and a long communal fire table. There’s enough open flame to keep much of the space cozy, providing a spot to take in the views while nibbling spanakopita sweetened with honey or trying something from their extensive menu of spirit-free cocktails including a paloma and prickly pear limeade. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson
