Hotel Barcelona Catedral 4 Sup
A rooftop pool a hundred metres from Barcelona Cathedral
About this hotel
Hotel Barcelona Catedral 4 Sup sits a hundred metres from Barcelona Cathedral, deep inside the historic Barri Gòtic, and built its gym and rooftop chill-out terrace with a swimming pool to make the most of that position, with wonderful city views over the medieval quarter. Each elegant room features wooden flooring, air conditioning, free WiFi, a laptop safe and a flat-screen TV with international channels. Smoking is restricted to designated common areas rather than guest rooms. The hotel's Creative Mediterranean restaurant serves guests without requiring a walk into the surrounding old-city streets, though the cathedral, Las Ramblas and Plaça Reial all sit within a short stroll for those who want to explore.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a rooftop pool with genuine cathedral proximity, the hundred-metre distance is hard to beat elsewhere in the Barri Gòtic. Couples and city-break travelers get the most from the location and rooftop terrace. Those wanting beachfront access or a quieter, garden-based stay should look toward Barceloneta or Sarrià instead, since this address sits deep in the old city's busiest tourist core.
- ✓Visit the cathedral early morning before the tour groups arrive, it's a hundred metres from the door.
- ✓Book a rooftop-facing room if the pool view matters most to your stay.
- ✓Walk to Plaça Reial for evening drinks, it's a short stroll through the Barri Gòtic's lanes.

Why guests love itBeing a hundred metres from the cathedral meant every day started with the bells and ended with a swim on the rooftop looking back at the same Gothic spire, a nice bookend to a day of walking the old city. The wooden floors and air conditioning kept rooms comfortable despite the summer heat outside, and the gym was a welcome addition after long days on foot. The old-city streets outside get busy with tourists by mid-morning, which is the one trade-off for this level of proximity.
