Best rooftop pools in Barcelona
Rooftop pool hotels in Barcelona, scored by view, access and opening hours. Strictly rooftop pools — beach resorts and basement spas live in our other guides.
Scope of this guide
Only rooftop pools make this list — no garden pools, no basement spas, no beach decks. The detail table below focuses on what you actually need to plan a rooftop visit: view, access and opening hours.
Most rooftop pools in Barcelona open mid-May and close at the end of September. Outside that window, head to our Pool season guide for heated and year-round options.
Tips for non-guests
Many rooftop pools sell day passes or require a minimum spend (€50–80). Edition and Mandarin are often fully booked by lunchtime — reserve via the hotel's website 1–2 days ahead.

Nearly made the list
Hotels we shortlisted but left out of the main ranking this edition, with a one-line note explaining the call.
Soho House Barcelona
Gòtic
Iconic rooftop over the port, but members and house guests only — not usable for general readers.
H10 Cubik
Via Laietana
Great-value rooftop plunge with a 360° Old Town panorama, but the pool itself is small.
Yurbban Trafalgar
El Born
One of the best skyline rooftops on a budget — left out because the plunge is genuinely tiny.
