No hotel on our Cadiz list sells day passes, so a room is the way up. July to September is the best swim window, and all eight hotels have a rooftop pool. Luz de Gades states guests only; the remaining seven leave access unpublished.
Our first pick is Luz de Gades: a heated, adults-only pool on the roof, reserved for guests. For published hours, BYPILLOW La Sal lists 9:00 to 21:00. Book Hotel Olom if you want the 4th-floor pool facing the dome of the Cathedral of Cádiz.

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not
These Cadiz hotels come up in rooftop pool searches, but their own pages place the pool at ground level, inside a spa, or don't confirm one.
Hotel Cádiz Bahía. The hotel's own FAQ places the pool on the main floor ("planta principal"), not the roof or a top-floor terrace. No source mentions a rooftop pool.
Hotel Playa Victoria Cádiz. The hotel's own site describes an outdoor pool and solarium at beach level, not on a roof or top-floor terrace.
Occidental Cádiz. Neither source mentions a swimming pool or any rooftop feature for Occidental Cádiz, so no rooftop pool is confirmed. The hotel's site also shows it as closed for season or renovations.
Hotel Boutique Las Cortes de Cádiz. The hotel's own sites describe a rooftop-level terrace with a Chill Out Bar on the fourth floor, but no source mentions a swimming pool.
Áurea Casa Palacio Sagasta. The hotel's own site describes only an indoor heated pool inside its spa circuit. No rooftop pool or rooftop terrace is mentioned, and the Google Maps listing gives only name and address.
Hotel Cádiz Paseo del Mar Affiliated by Meliá. None of the four sources mentions a swimming pool for this hotel. The Melia page's service list and structured data are cut off, and the reviews page is truncated, so a pool may exist but is not confirmed.
Hotel Alquimia Cádiz. Sources describe a rooftop terrace with bay views but none says Hotel Alquimia Cádiz has a pool. The only pool mention is an unnamed review on the readytotrip page, which refers to a cathedral-square rooftop and cannot be tied to this hotel.
Hotel Argantonio. None of the sources mention a swimming pool. The hotel's own terrace page describes a terrace with wine and views, but no pool, so it is classed as a terrace without a pool.
