8 best hotels with a pool in Barcelona

Hotels with a pool in Barcelona suit travellers who want to balance city culture with proper downtime. Think of a midday swim option after exploring Gaudí landmarks in the Eixample district, where sights such as the Sagrada Família define the skyline. For classic old-town charm, staying near El Born places you close to medieval lanes between the Gothic Quarter and Ciutat Vella highlights.

A genuinely “pool hotel” experience means more than a small plunge: look for a terrace pool you can actually use, practical opening hours, comfortable loungers, and family- or adult-focused atmospheres (depending on the property). That makes a difference for couples planning romantic evenings, families needing a low-effort afternoon, and business travellers wanting a reset between meetings.

Where to stay depends on your pace. Choose Eixample for design, shopping and walkable access to Gaudí-era sights. Choose El Born / Ciutat Vella for tapas, boutiques, and easy evenings out, with a calmer base than the busiest central streets.

From our bookable collection, The Serras (5★) and The One Barcelona (5★) are standout choices for a higher-end stay, while Yurbban Passage Hotel (4★) and H10 Madison (4★) suit travellers who want a stylish base with pool access.
