💡 The Short Version: A pool on the roof is a summer feature, and most hotels here say so. Hotel Europark and Hotel Soho, both in the Eixample, restrict swimming from November to March and keep the terrace open all year. Catalonia Magdalenes, in the Gothic Quarter, closes its glass pool from 31 October to 31 March. The H10 Marina has bar service on its terrace pool in summer only. The Hoxton, Poblenou has a rooftop pool open 7:30 to 19:30 with views of the Sagrada Família and the sea. Every stay adds a tourist tax of €7 to €12 per adult per night. Or book a tour: for a morning away from the pool, the Sagrada Família skip-the-line guided tourad is on GetYourGuide, with dates separate from the official ones.
