Why it's on the list
Iconic small rooftop infinity pool with skyline views and a calm, grown-up atmosphere in the Gothic Quarter — the most photogenic small plunge in central Barcelona.
Why it's not higher
Smaller pool footprint and limited lounging space cap the score; W Barcelona and Hotel Arts have more usable pool deck.
