Summer decides the swim in Cordoba: June to August is the best stretch, and highs are still 19.1°C in November. Three hotels here have rooftop pools, and none sells day passes. One is guests only. The other two don't publish whether outside guests can swim.
Our first pick is Patio del Posadero, an adults-only, six-room villa with a saltwater pool on the azotea. If you want a published season, book Petit Palace Córdoba: the rooftop pool is open May to November, beside a sky bar.

Hotels you might expect here, and why they're not
Six Cordoba hotels that people expect to have a rooftop pool don't, going by their own descriptions: the pools are in gardens or patios, or there is no pool at all.
Hotel DWO Finca los Abetos. The hotel's services page describes two outdoor pools beside a garden with a solarium, not on a roof or top floor. No source mentions a rooftop pool.
Hesperia Córdoba. Sources describe a rooftop bar and panoramic terrace on the 4th floor, but none mention a swimming pool.
H10 Palacio Colomera. The hotel's own site describes the pool as a plunge pool in the garden patio (ground level). Its two rooftop bars are described without any pool.
Hotel Macia Alfaros. None of the three sources mentions a swimming pool at Hotel Macià Alfaros. The only terrace found is a feature of one room type on the hotel's own website, which is not a pool.
Crisol Jardines de Córdoba. The only pool source is the hotel's own site, which describes an outdoor seasonal pool alongside its gardens. It never says the pool is on the roof or a top-floor terrace, and the Google Maps listing mentions no pool.
Exe Las Adelfas. The only source, a Google Maps listing, describes a hotel and wedding venue with no mention of any swimming pool, so no rooftop pool is established.
Córdoba Carpe Diem. Hotel's own site describes a decorated terrace with armchairs and views, but mentions no pool. The Google Maps listing has no pool either, so no rooftop pool is stated.
Hotel Viento10. No source mentions a swimming pool. The hotel's site describes a rooftop-level terrace with church views and a private room terrace, but no pool on the roof or elsewhere.
