The rooftop of Hotel 1898 in the Barri Gòtic — a small but real pool, well-made G&Ts, and a vantage over the Gothic Quarter rooftops near the Ramblas. Take cocktails by the pool with Mediterranean small plates; non-guests can access with a drink purchase. Come in the late afternoon for golden light on the Gothic rooftops. The colonial-era hotel building carries history. It is one of the few Ramblas-area rooftops worth the tourist-adjacent location — a genuine pool and a Gothic-Quarter outlook above one of the city's busiest stretches. For a calm, elevated drink near the Ramblas, with a small pool and golden-hour light, it earns its place.
