The Pool at Mercer Hotel Barcelona

"There's a lovely rooftop dip pool, stylish cocktail lounge, tapas bar and restaurant, plus wonderfully peaceful common areas"

"The hotel also offers several cocktail and dining options, including the Le Bouchon tapas bar and Jean Luc Figueras' Mercer Restaurant JLF, a rooftop lounge and small pool, a hanging garden, and some of the most comfortable beds around"

"There’s also a library, courtyard, and rooftop terrace with a plunge pool—all of which, coupled with the excellent service, make this a fine destination hotel"

"Locals pop by for an Old Fashioned in the sultry cocktail lounge, but the best place to appreciate Barcelona’s good looks is with a glass of bubbly by the plunge pool on the rooftop terrace"

"It has a patio with orange trees, a gourmet restaurant, and a fantastic private terrace with a plunge pool"

"Public spaces include two restaurants, a cocktail bar and a rooftop terrace lap pool"

"This place has all the essential facilities, including two restaurants and a pretty rooftop area with a plunge pool"

"Sangria served by the pool is the perfect remedy after a sweaty stroll from the Picasso Museum"

"The manager informs us, ‘These Roman ruins date back to the 1st Century AD!’ His enthusiastic tour reveals a considered interior of Gothic and modern architecture offsetting the historic walls, a busy tapas joint behind Lynch-y velvet curtains, a Mad Men-style bar, a sophisticated restaurant with a glass courtyard of orange trees, and a rooftop pool"
