Why it's on the list
This rooftop pool is a distinctive feature of the hotel, boasting a heated infinity edge that offers 360-degree skyline views of Eixample. Its design integrates with the surrounding architecture, creating an elevated space for relaxation. The pool is described as long and blends seamlessly with the rooftops, suggesting it is suitable for both lounging and some swimming.
Why it's not higher
Despite being heated, a guest review indicated the pool water was too cold for comfortable swimming, only suitable for a quick dip. The pool is available seasonally from October to May, subject to weather conditions, which limits year-round use.
