When you search for a hotel in Barcelona with a pool, you're looking to balance sun-soaked relaxation with quick access to the city's landmarks. The two properties below deliver exactly that, both scoring over 80 on guest reviews. Expect a rooftop pool in one, which operates from May to October, and a compact outdoor pool in the other, open during the same warmer months. Amenities like free WiFi, air conditioning, and non-smoking rooms are standard in both.
The Acevi Villarroel is a spa hotel with a rooftop pool and sun terrace, located 400 metres from Urgell Metro Station. It's within a 15-minute walk of Plaza Catalunya, and the hotel's free spa includes a steam bath, sauna, and gym. Alternatively, the Àmfores Boutique Guest House sits in the Ciutat Vella district, next to the Palau de la Música and 800 metres from Plaza Catalunya. Housed in a medieval building, it offers a terrace with a small pool and a central location near the Gothic Quarter. Budget for around €150-€250 per night depending on season; for the most convenience, choose a hotel near Las Ramblas or the Gothic Quarter. If you're a solo traveler or couple who values character, the boutique guest house suits you well; for a more traditional hotel with spa facilities, the Acevi Villarroel is a solid choice.
