Envy Rooftop, Parque Lleras: Booking and Dress Code

Seventeen floors above Parque Lleras, with a pool on the terrace and the whole valley behind it.

Envy is the rooftop on top of The Charlee Hotel, seventeen floors above Parque Lleras: a pool, a view over El Poblado, and the bar most visitors end up at on their first night.

What it is

The view, first

Envy occupies floors 17 and 18 of The Charlee, with an aquarium-style pool on the terrace and a capacity somewhere around three hundred. It is on Parque Lleras rather than near it, which makes it the default first stop for anyone staying on the square.

The programme is cocktails, sushi supplied by the hotel’s ONI Nikkei restaurant, chef appetizers and live music. Be clear with yourself about what you are buying: this is a rooftop bar with a kitchen, not a restaurant with a view. Come for the drinks and the city, eat properly somewhere else.

Booking

Getting in, and what it costs

Reservations run through Cluvi, linked from the venue’s own site, and the hotel takes enquiries by email. Table seating comes with a minimum spend that varies by night, group size and where the table is — it is quoted to you in writing before your booking is confirmed, so ask, and get the number before you commit.

Two things to check when you book The minimum spend is never published as a figure, and the opening hours differ across every listing we could find — including the venue’s own. Confirm both at the point of booking.

The dress code is described by booking concierges as stylish and dressed-up: no athletic wear, no gym shoes, nothing too casual. The venue itself does not publish the rule, so err upwards.

The address trap

Make sure you have the right one

Envy’s own website lists an address that does not match Parque Lleras geography, and one large review site prints the street number with the wrong prefix. The address the hotel itself gives — and the one that matches where the building actually is — is Calle 9A #37-16, on the park. If a taxi driver looks confused, name The Charlee Hotel rather than the bar.

Stay

Sleeping in the same building

All hotels near the park

The simplest version of an Envy night is to book a room underneath it. The trade-off is the one everybody on Lleras makes: you are in the middle of the noise.

The nightlife guide

Envy is one rooftop. A guided crawl gets you into several, with skip-the-queue entry and someone who knows which room is worth the cover charge on a given night.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Envy Rooftop?

On floors 17–18 of The Charlee Hotel at Calle 9A #37-16, directly on Parque Lleras. Some listings and even the bar’s own site show conflicting addresses — the hotel’s is the one to use.

Do I need a reservation for Envy?

Table seating is booked through the venue’s Cluvi page and normally carries a minimum spend that varies by night and table. Get the figure in writing when you book.

What are Envy's opening hours?

Every source we checked — including the venue’s own site — gives a different schedule, so we would rather not print one. Confirm when you reserve.

Is there a dress code at Envy?

Booking concierges describe it as stylish and dressed-up: no athletic wear or gym shoes. The venue does not publish the rule itself, so dress up rather than down.

Is Envy good for dinner?

It is a rooftop bar with a kitchen — cocktails, sushi and appetizers, with the view as the main event. For a serious dinner, eat elsewhere and come up for drinks after.
