Pool Areas and Beach
Head up to the roof terrace to find Barceló Raval’s compact outdoor freshwater pool, framed by loungers and a wraparound deck. It’s more of a plunge pool than a full-sized swimming pool, but the views are the real star here – gaze across the old town rooftops to Montjuïc and the Mediterranean beyond.
There’s no beach directly at the hotel, but Barceloneta Beach and the wider city coastline are easily reached by metro, bus or taxi for a change of scene and a dip in the sea during warmer months.

Keep your routine going between tapas stops at the on-site gym, typically open from 07:00 until late evening, with cardio and strength equipment for a quick workout.
