The best hotels in Barcelona with pools deserve a long soak in between visits to the Picasso Museum and La Sagrada Familia.

Best Barcelona hotels with rooftop pools
Hotel Catalonia Atenas
Closest station: El Clot-Aragó
Getting soaked in salt water doesn’t require a beach trip. Hotel Catalonia Atenas lets you jot a pseudo-beach day on your itinerary without leaving the lobby. The rooftop saltwater pool and solarium has panoramic city views that you can spy from a comfortable lounger or plunge pool.
H10 Marina Barcelona
Closest station: Bogatell
Get your laps in at H10 Marina Barcelona. This Olympic Village four-star sleep spot is a short walk from the Gothic Quarter and beach, making each an ideal cool down stroll after practicing your breaststroke in the Skyline Terrace rooftop pool.
Radisson Blu 1882 Hotel
Closest station: Estació de Sagrada Família
Wake up, walk to the rooftop pool, wave to the La Sagrada Familia. Repeat until your Spanish vacation is over. Radisson Blu 1882 is one of the best hotels in Barcelona with a rooftop pool because you can practically splash the iconic basilica with a well-executed cannonball.

W Barcelona
Closest station: Barceloneta
One might think that having an indoor spa pool in a hotel that has an outdoor terrace pool overlooking the finest pool in Europe (which is the Mediterranean Sea, of course) would be a little overkill. Our opinion? W Barcelona gets the W in our book because it was built to vacation in a swimsuit and so were we.

Hotel 1898
Closest station: Universitat
Right on the Rambla, Hotel 1898 is a luxury hotel in Barcelona with an indoor pool and library perfect for a low-key afternoon. Every day starts off steamy in the Spa Siargao, a former coal bunker that has a thermal circuit and pool, dry sauna, steam bath, and bubble massage beds.

ABaC Hotel
Closest station: Vallcarca
ABaC Hotel puts you in a bit of a pepinillo: This five-star hotel with an indoor pool spa experience is on the outskirts of Barcelona. Getting there isn’t the problem; leaving is. With a three-Michelin-star restaurant and dreamy spa treatments, your endorphins will sway you into staying put for as long as possible.
Seventy
Closest station: Diagonal
Seventy offers the best of both worlds in more way than one. Sandwiched between the cultural and independent Gràcia District and the bustling Eixample district, it's ideally located for any excursion into the city. Take a dip in the pool out on the terrace or head down to the spa for a pamper, and while you're at it, marvel at the Mediterranean design throughout—especially the stunning floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the reception.

Best hotel pools in Barcelona for kids and families
Hotel Jazz
Closest station: Universitat
You’ve brought the whole clan to Barcelona to soak up the culture, but all the kids care about is working on their underwater handstands. Hotel Jazz knows that all family vacations don’t groove to the same beat. Book a triple-room family suite and head up to the rooftop pool where the kids will at least be able to absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of central Barcelona in between head dunks.
Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona
Closest station: El Maresme | Fòrum
With an on-site restaurant and a great location near the beach, playgrounds, and parks, Hilton Diagonal Mar is one of the best Barcelona hotels with pools for families who want to enjoy the Spanish sun with little ones. Good luck making them wait 30 minutes to swim after they stuff their faces with the free breakfast buffet for kids 12 and under.
Best hotel pools in Barcelona for budget travelers
Hotel Soho Barcelona
Closest station: Urgell
Whether you’re in town for Pride Barcelona or are just making your way through España on the cheap, Hotel Soho welcomes you with open arms and closed wallets. Its open-air pool has 8th-floor views of the Gran Via that won’t cost you much green.
Sallés Hotel Ciutat del Prat
Closest station: El Prat de Llobregat
Close to the Barcelona Airport (with a free shuttle btw), Sallés Hotel leaves your mind and budget at ease. Venture up to the 5th floor solarium for a nap in a sunsoaked hammock then take a dip in the heated indoor swimming pool that retracts its roof when the mood is right.
