20 of the Best Hotels with Pools in Barcelona

There are some destinations where it’s nice if your hotel has a pool, but you’re probably not going to use it, and there are some destinations where you’ll find yourself in your hotel’s pool at about the same time on each day of your stay. Of course, sunny, humid, busy, bustling Barcelona falls into the second category. With this in mind, our hotel experts have scoured the city to bring you a collection of the best hotels with pools in Barcelona. Whether you are in search of a chic city hotel with a rooftop pool (the city has a particularly good selection of these), an all-out luxury stay, a central crashpad or a property well suited to families — there is something to suit most trips here. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?

For a rooftop pool

The Corner Hotel is a cosmopolitan stay combining original features with contemporary design, ideally located in the heart of the city. A relaxed in-house bar serves food and drinks until midnight. Plus there's the all important rooftop terrace and pool with a solarium for those wishing to sunbathe, relax and admire the panoramic views.
Grand Hotel Central is a large 1920s building renovated with subtle minimalism. Expect an elegant atmosphere and lots of natural light. Its restaurant offers gourmet Mediterranean fare. While the celestial views of the city from the rooftop terrace (complete with infinity pool) and central location make it a haven for those on an escape to Barcelona.
If you appreciate rooftop pools and fantastic design the H10 Cubik is the one to book. This modern hotel offers cutting edge futuristic design making it ideal for young professionals on a weekend getaway. It has two chic bars and a stunning poolside terrace overlooking the city, and it is just a short walk from the cathedral and historic centre.
The One is a large sophisticated hotel in a great part of Barcelona close to the Passeig de Gràcia, Plaça de Catalunya, and Las Ramblas. The interiors are contemporary and very elegant, designed by Jamie Beriestain, and there’s a spa with a range of treatments and facilities. With a lovely roof terrace and a restaurant — this is an easy base to explore from.

For a city centre stay

Balmes Residence is a wonderfully styled Modernist hotel in the heart of Barcelona, within easy reach of Gaudí’s La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Familia. There's a choice of rooms or apartments, both equally elegant featuring colourful mosaic tiles, ceiling moulds and modern furnishings. The gourmet restaurant is excellent and the courtyard garden features a swimming pool.
Midmost Hotel is a tricky one to categorise because it will appeal to a lot of travellers. It’s in a great spot close to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Le Boqueria and Passeig de Gràcia. Some of its rooms and suites are perfectly set up for families and others have balconies and are well suited to couples. The decor is unfussily elegant, there’s a roof terrace with a pool, and the restaurant is excellent as well.
In the heart of the historic Gothic Quarter, close to the cathedral and the Plaza de Catalunya, the Hotel Barcelona Catedral is a great choice for a Barcelona city break. The pool is pretty special — long, thin, and on the edge of the roof terrace! Inside, the rooms are chic yet simple. A great base for city exploring.
Really close to the Museum of Contemporary Art and La Boqueria is the Jazz Hotel. The minimalist rooms are comfortable and chic. City views from the rooftop pool terrace are enticing for a day of relaxing in the sun. While the Jazz Bar on the eighth floor is a popular hangout. A sleek city centre crashpad.
