A heated pool in any month, on La Rambla. The spa pool is indoors and heated, the rooftop pool is restricted from November to March, and there's a private car park entered from Carrer del Pintor Fortuny — about 1.3 road miles from WTC Barcelona by our routing.
Check-out is 11:00, an hour before the noon that most hotels on our list print. The hotel stores bags, so that matters less on sail day.
The car park costs extra and the FAQ doesn't say how much. There's no regular transfer service, though it offers personalised options on request.
Book it for a Rambla evening and a swim in winter. Get a parking price in writing if you're driving.
