What our sources say about heating
- “There is a roof terrace with great pool (as it was March did not spend much time here and unfortunately the pool does not seem to be heated like other SH rooftop pools.”Google · matthew cornford ↗
- “Very average Soho House... Maybe as it was a cold windy day so the rooftop area couldn't be used to its full advantage but.. the rooftop space and pool is quite small so I imagine would be packed in the summer... I went to Soho House to spend some time to relax after a busy weekend before my flight but the indoor pool was unavailable as it was already "full" - those booked onto spa treatments are given priority so if you're a member, you can't use the indoor pool.”Google · Michelle Lee ↗

Editor's note
Soho House Barcelona boasts a stylish rooftop pool with an infinity edge, offering compelling city views. While guests appreciate the comfortable lounging space, some note the pool's smaller size, suggesting it could get crowded. Despite being open year-round, reviews indicate the water can be cold, as it is not consistently heated.

Why it's on the list
Soho House Barcelona features two distinct pools. The rooftop pool is open year-round, heated in winter, and offers views of the marina, ancient churches, and the Collserola mountains. It is described as a small outdoor pool. The hotel also has an indoor saltwater pool within its adult-only spa, designed for post-massage dips and detoxes.
Why it's not higher
The rooftop pool is described as small, suggesting it may not be suitable for serious swimming. Access to the indoor spa pool is prioritised for those with spa treatments, and guests have noted it can be unavailable if full.
