Editor's note
The NH Collection Gran Hotel Calderón boasts a stunning rooftop outdoor pool, offering guests a refreshing escape with potential city views. While specific details on lounging space and service are limited, the allure of a rooftop pool in a city like Barcelona suggests a memorable experience. The absence of guest reviews specifically mentioning the pool makes a conservative assessment appropriate.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.

Why it's on the list
The hotel features a large outdoor rooftop swimming pool located 75 meters from the ground, offering sweeping city views of Barcelona. Guests can enjoy the pool year-round between 08:00 and 20:00. The terrace surrounding the pool provides a setting for unwinding with a drink from the Eleven BCN rooftop bar.
Why it's not higher
The pool is not heated, which may make it less appealing outside of warmer months despite being open year-round. Some guest reviews indicate service at the pool can be average or chaotic at times.
Sources we used
Editorial review based on the hotel's own website, recent guest reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, and our notes from the property.

The official website and Google Places confirm the hotel has one outdoor rooftop pool with city views, open year-round from 08:00 to 20:00. TripAdvisor reviews also highlight the rooftop pool and its views. None of the sources state the pool is heated, has an infinity edge, or specifies if children are allowed.
