Top 10 Hotels In Barcelona With Rooftop Pools

Because Barcelona is such an incredible city, we've pulled together our top 10 best hotels in Barcelona with rooftop pools. With so much to see, do, experience, taste and more, it's nice to relax and enjoy the Spanish sunshine out by the pool after a long day of sightseeing on your feet, and here are a few of our favourites.

1. Hotel Barcelona Princess

Offering not one, but two outdoor pools, with the rooftop swimming pool being on the hotel's 23rd floor, the Hotel Barcelona Princess sits close to the Parque del Forum in the north east of the city centre and is just a 10 minute walk from the beach.

The hotel is just a couple of minutes walk from the nearby Marseme Forum Metro Station with easy access to the city, so after a day of exploring Barcelona's top attractions, enjoying the stunning views out to sea from the lap pool are the perfect way to unwind.

2. Hotel Barcelona Universal

Steps from Parallel Metro station and 15 minutes walk to Las Ramblas, the 4-star Hotel Barcelona Universal enjoys a central location with rooftop pool and deck chairs.

Found on the 10th floor, the rooftop pool and terrace are open during the summer months only with tapas and cocktails a popular choice after a day exploring Gaudi's impressive architecture. Be sure to hit up the Wolf Tavern during winter months for Spanish and German beer tasting.

3. Hotel Ohla Eixample Barcelona

Just around the corner from the Avinguda Diagonal, the 5-star Ohla Eixample Hotel in Barcelona's iconic central Eixample district offers guests a boutique hotel experience including dining at the Michelin star Xerta Restaurant and enjoying the views from the heated, rooftop lap pool and bar.

The Sky Bar is open throughout the day for guests and for those not staying at the hotel, you can enjoy the rooftop from 7pm.

4. Majestic Hotel & Spa

Located on Passeig de Gracia, the 5-star Majestic Hotel and Spa in Barcelona's Eixample district offers guests the opportunity to admire the views from the rooftop pool and terrace at this boutique style, award winning hotel.

During the summer months, evenings on the terrace have a cool, disco and sunset sessions vibe, staying open until 2am with DJs regularly appearing at La Dolce Vitae, the hotel's rooftop bar.

5. Grand Hotel Central

Barcelona's Grand Hotel Central offers a more upmarket (and pricier) stay in the city, but if you're out to treat yourself, this is the place to book. Boutique with a grand interior, the Grand Hotel Central enjoys spa treatments, a fitness suite with views of Barcelona and that all important rooftop, infinity pool at the Skybar. Being located close to the Barcelona Cathedral means views across the Gothic Quarter are stunning, and you don't have to venture all the way to Barceloneta Beach to dip your toes in the water.

By day, the Skybar is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine, take in the views and enjoy the chill out music. Freshly prepared ingredients and juices make lunch on the terrace a health nuts dream.

6. Hotel Duquesa de Cardona

Locates in the Gothic Quarter, close to the Aquarium, the 4-star Hotel Duquesa de Cardona offers a modern but stylish stay within easy reach of some of Barcelona's top attractions. While the rooftop plunge pool might be smaller than other hotels in Barcelona, the views across the marina from the Hotel Duquesa are simply stunning.

By day, the roof terrace offers a relaxed poolside vibe while the evening brings more of a cocktail bar with tapas type feel.

7. Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell

The Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell is one of our favourite budget hotels in Barcelona. Not quite in the city centre but also not miles away, this hotel offers affordable accommodation within easy access of the city and the beach. It's perfect if you want to keep the cost of your break down, and you're going to get a travel card during your stay in Barcelona, although La Sagrada Familia is only a 25 minute walk away.

The rooftop pool here is on the 8th floor so your views aren't too bad. The pool is unheated though so bear that in mind in the cooler winter months.

8. Hotel Jazz

Despite only being 3-stars, the Hotel Jazz packs a punch and is incredibly popular with guests. A relaxed vibe with views across the city, the hotel's 8th floor rooftop pool is only open during the summer months from 9am until 9pm but is a popular option for those wanting to enjoy a rooftop pool in Barcelona on a budget.

Located a short walk to Pl. Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia, the Hotel Jazz has convenient transport links around the city, and makes for an ideal summer stay in the city.

9. Hotel Arts, Marina

Being part of the Ritz Carlton chain of luxury hotels, you know that your experience at the Hotel Arts will be incredible. From the restaurant and bar options to the hotel spa and, of course, arguably one of the best rooftop pools in Barcelona, this 5-star hotel is sure to amaze.

The terrace and pool area overlooks the Port Olimpic marina and out into the Mediterranean Sea, featuring an adults only, infinity pool open during the summer months and dining options throughout the year.

10. The One Hotel

Another luxury hotel option, 5-star The One Hotel sits in a popular and convenient location in Eixample, featuring modern and elegant rooms, rooftop bar and restaurant and spa experience. The rooftop plunge pool (more like a lap pool), with sunbathing deck, is naturally one of the key features of the hotel, offering fantastic views of Barcelona.

The Mood Rooftop Bar and pool are open to guests during the summer season only.
