Editor's note
Ohla Barcelona boasts an iconic glass-walled rooftop pool, offering a unique visual experience against the city skyline. While undeniably a highlight for its distinctive design and views, the lounging space appears functional rather than expansive, suggesting a focus on the pool itself as a feature. The availability of cocktails suggests some level of service, enhancing the overall ambiance.
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 Ohla Barcelona features a single, iconic glass-walled rooftop pool, exclusively for hotel guests. It provides stunning views over Barcelona, including the Gothic Quarter and the Cathedral. The pool area includes lounge spaces with armchairs for relaxation and a chill-out space.
Why it's not higher
The pool is noted as small, and there are no sun loungers available around it, which limits sunbathing opportunities. It is also not heated, and its operating season is not specified.
