The pool
The pool is on The Clock Terrace, the rooftop of this Sants-Montjuïc hotel on Plaça d'Espanya. It has Balinese beds, a chill-out area and panoramic views of Plaza España, the Roman towers and Montjuïc. It runs in summer, and bar service stops in winter until spring.
Our take
InterContinental Barcelona, the other Sants-Montjuïc hotel on our list with a published floor, puts its pool on the 7th floor and sells day passes to non-guests. Here the floor and access are both unpublished, so this is a stay-first option.
The downside is the season. We're in winter now, and the bar is shut until spring. Rooms range from 121€ to 260€, but the hotel doesn't state the dates for that range.
Good to know
- Views of Plaza España, Roman towers and Montjuïc
- Balinese beds and a chill-out area by the pool
- Tapas, wine and cocktails served on the terrace
The catches

- Floor and access rules aren't published
Best forSummer visitors who want a lounge-style rooftop with a pool and a view of Plaza España.

Getting in
Who can use the pool, and whether day passes exist, isn't published. No pass is listed on a pass seller's page, so staying is the sure route.
The hotel's price range is 121€ to 260€, with no date stated.
Tips
- Book for summer: the bar service is closed in winter until spring.
- Email the hotel if you want the terrace without a room, since non-guest access isn't published.
Before you go. Check that the terrace and pool are open on your dates, and find out if non-guests can use them. Neither is published.
