Book here for a 7th-floor infinity pool in the Gothic Quarter, which the hotel says is the highest rooftop in the area. Access is usually for guests, and hours change by season.
The pool
The 7th-floor infinity pool is in the Gothic Quarter in Ciutat Vella. The deck has sofas, sunbeds and lounge chairs, and the views run almost 360° over central Barcelona. Hours and availability vary by season.
Our take
Kimpton Vividora sits a floor below Grand Hotel Central's 8th-floor pool in the same district, and it matches Seventy Barcelona's 7th floor. It's the one on our list that pairs a published floor with an infinity edge and a full bar-restaurant on deck.
The downside is uncertainty. The pool area, Terraza de Vivi, may take outside reservations at certain hours, but no day pass is stated. Towels, a kids' pool and dress code aren't mentioned either.
