Thanks for posting, but did they add a tower to the Carvelle Hotel?. When I was there {68-9, and 97} it was about 5/6 floors max. No roof top bar.
The Rex, nearby had a famous bar on the roof. Perhaps they have both been torn down by now.

Top, they are all still there. Caravelle now has a tower about 12-15 stories. Rex roof top bar still going strong. Majestic beautifully maintained/restored, stayed there 3 nights.
