What guests say about the pool
To top it all off, the rooftop bar was phenomenal. The views alone were breathtaking, but combined with the excellent service, it became one of the highlights of our stay.
The rooftop bar was amazing with such a great atmosphere, and we even received drink vouchers, which was such a nice touch.
This 5-star boutique hotel features stylish, contemporary rooms, a rooftop pool and bar with city views, Mediterranean dining at Fauna restaurant, and thoughtful amenities including a social hour with complimentary wines.

Why it's on the list
The Kimpton Vividora features an infinity-edge rooftop pool on the Terraza de Vivi, described as the highest rooftop in the Gothic Quarter. It offers almost 360-degree panoramic city views, including rooftops, squares, and streets of central Barcelona. The pool area is equipped with lounge chairs and is part of a sophisticated outdoor space that includes a bar.
Why it's not higher
The pool is noted by a reviewer as small and busy. Access to the pool is generally reserved for guests, and day passes are not available. Its operating season is limited, not open year-round.
