Editor's note
Soho House Barcelona offers both a stylish rooftop pool with marina views and an underground spa with a small indoor pool. The rooftop provides a tranquil escape during the day, perfect for enjoying the Barcelona sunshine, though its size might lead to crowding in peak season. The indoor spa pool, while part of a relaxing wellness area, is noted for being small and occasionally cold.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
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.
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.
