Stay here if the Rooftop Garden's 360-degree views, with the Sagrada Família in the distance, matter more than pool detail. Only hotel guests can swim, and the hotel publishes no hours or floor.
The pool
The pool sits on the Rooftop Garden terrace in Eixample, a large terrace with a bar and open-air dining. The views run 360 degrees, with the Sagrada Família in the distance. Hours, floor and heating aren't published.
Our take
Hotel Claris is the other Eixample hotel here with a guests-only rooftop, and it publishes hours (11:00 AM to 8:00 PM) and says the water is not heated. El Palace publishes neither, so it's the thinner entry for planning.
The hotel says guests and locals gather at the rooftop bar, but gives no access terms or hours, so don't assume the pool follows. Light seasonal bites are served from sunset into the night.
Good to know
- Pool on a large rooftop garden terrace
- 360-degree views with the Sagrada Família in the distance
- Bar and open-air dining on the same terrace
The catches
- Pool hours, floor and heating aren't published
- No access terms for the bar are given
Best forGuests who care about skyline views and a rooftop garden bar more than known pool hours.
Skip it ifYou need published pool hours, heating details or a day-pass option.
