The bar caters to a new generation of cocktail lovers who seek innovation combined with an intimate and extraordinary atmosphere. Their bars have their own unique twist on “crowd-favorite” cocktails.
Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond hotel located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, celebrated this month the first anniversary of Tunki Rooftop by Handshake, joining the collection of illustrious bars around the world from Belmond, from Hotel Cipriani’s Bar Gabbiano in Venice to the Piano Bar at Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro.
The intimate cocktail lounge features innovative cocktails, authentic Peruvian cuisine, and unparalleled views of one of the world’s most emblematic cities, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The hotel’s new rooftop, in exclusive collaboration with Handshake, a legendary Mexican speakeasy recently recognized as one of the “50 best bars in the world” in 2022, brings elevated and creative mixology to the scene.
Named in honor of Peru’s official bird, Tunki Rooftop is a celebration of the union of two vibrant cultures, inspired by the regions of the Coast, the Jungle, and the Sierra, each with distinct personalities and flavors. The fusion of vibrant Mexican and Peruvian gastronomy creates an unparalleled culinary experience, as the authentic ingredients of both cultures combine perfectly to create an unforgettable blend of rich flavors.
