Editor's note
The Pestana Arena Barcelona offers a versatile pool experience with both a scenic rooftop outdoor pool and a tranquil indoor spa pool. The rooftop pool provides a refreshing escape with city views, ideal for warm weather. The indoor pool offers a serene environment within the hotel's spa facilities, suitable for relaxation year-round. While the rooftop offers good lounging potential, information on poolside service is limited.

Why it's on the list
The Pestana Arena Barcelona features a shared outdoor rooftop pool offering views of the art museum and Montjuic. Additionally, some Junior Suites include private outdoor jacuzzis on their terraces. The hotel also has a fitness center.
Why it's not higher
Access to private outdoor jacuzzis in the 'Junior Suite with Terrace' is currently not permitted due to drought conditions. No heating information is provided for the shared rooftop pool. No operating hours are mentioned for either the shared pool or the jacuzzis.
Sources we used

The official website and TripAdvisor confirm a rooftop pool and private jacuzzis in Junior Suites. Expedia notes that private jacuzzi access is currently restricted due to drought conditions. Google Places mentions a spa and gym at the hotel. Existing database facts confirm views of the art museum and Montjuic from the pool, and that it is for hotel guests only.
