At the top of the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, you can take in 360-degree views of the city and soak in sunset views over the Caloosahatchee River. Join the parties on Wednesday and Friday nights and look forward to special events like rooftop karaoke, wine and paint night, and rhythmic Latin dance lessons.

Perched on the top of the 12-story Luminary Hotel & Co., this modern mainstay is a perfect place for beautiful panoramic views and even better food and drinks.
