Worth a look for a 5-star Ciutat Vella hotel with a rooftop pool next to the Palau de la Música Catalana. The pool is unheated, and who can swim isn't published.
The pool
A rooftop terrace pool in Ciutat Vella, with a bar beside it serving signature cocktails and Mediterranean food. The hotel says the terrace sits next to the Palau de la Música Catalana. It is not heated.
Our take
Hotel 1898 is another Ciutat Vella pool on our list, and it also leaves floor details unpublished. Ohla adds a terrace bar at the water and a named landmark next door.
The catch is clarity. The hotel doesn't publish swim access, hours, season or floor, so you can't plan a non-guest visit. Music is background only; the hotel says the rooftop has no live music.
