Ever since the COVID -19 pandemic hit, outdoor dining has grown exponentially more popular at hotels and resorts, and smart hoteliers have capitalized on this trend. "We are more focused on outdoor spaces than we ever have been," says Steve Palmer, Founder of the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, which develops F&B concepts for hotels. "I used to jokingly say that 1 never would develop a hotel without a rooftop bar, but that's true more than ever before.

Customers are going to want them today, tomorrow and further down the road."
