The easiest way onto a Barcelona rooftop pool without a room. The 7th-floor pool at the 173 Rooftop Terrace offers day passes to non-guests, though no price is published and the pool shuts mid-February to end of March.
The pool
The outdoor pool is on the 173 Rooftop Terrace, 7th floor, in Sants-Montjuïc. It comes with a solarium and sun loungers, and the terrace has panoramic city views plus a cocktail bar with music. The catch is the annual closure from mid-February to end of March.
Our take
Only two hotels on our list sell day passes, and this is one of them. SLS Barcelona is the other. Fifteen hotels on our list are guests-only, among them Seventy and Grand Hotel Central, and another 15 don't publish their rules. If you aren't sleeping here, this is the pool to price first.
The downside is the missing price. The day-pass details date from September 2023 and show no cost, so check the pass is still on sale before you plan around it. The hotel doesn't say whether room guests have pool access, so treat this as a day-pass pool.

Skip it ifYou plan to swim between mid-February and the end of March, when the pool is closed.
Getting in
A day pass is the way in without a room. No price is published, and the hotel doesn't say how many passes it releases or which days they cover.
The hotel doesn't publish rules for staying guests, so we can't say how they get in. Age rules and opening hours aren't published either.
Tips
- Skip mid-February to end of March: the pool is closed for those weeks every year.
- Ask the hotel for the current day-pass price and dates before you travel, since the details we have date from September 2023.
Before you go. Check that the day pass is still on sale and what it costs, because no price is published.
