Editor's note
The Mercer Hotel Barcelona boasts a stylish rooftop pool with an exclusive feel, offering guests a refreshing dip and a solarium with city views. While there's bar service during the warm season, the pool isn't explicitly heated, which might limit its usability during cooler months. Its unique rooftop setting within an historic building makes it a significant amenity for a city hotel.

Why it's on the list
The Mercer Hotel Barcelona offers a small outdoor rooftop pool, suitable for cooling off rather than swimming laps. Guests can sunbathe and enjoy views of the city, including the Gothic Cathedral and Catalan rooftops, from the adjacent solarium and terrace. The pool area is equipped with sun loungers and pool umbrellas.
Why it's not higher
The pool is small, described as a plunge pool, and is not heated, limiting its usability to the warm season. One web review questioned its suitability for swimming.
Sources we used
