In Brief
Which Seville hotels have a pool open all year?
Five say so on their own sites: Hotel Casa 1800, 365 days from 10 to 8 on the roof beside the cathedral; Hotel Giralda Center, all year from 9 to 8:30, the earliest opening in the city; Casa Romana, all year from 10 to 8; Only YOU Hotel Sevilla, all year with bathing from 10 to 8 in the only pool in Seville that publishes a size, 70 square metres; and Hotel Amadeus, whose salt-water rooftop pool is the one described as heated in winter, with no hours published. Everything else runs a season, from Kivir's 1 March to 31 October down to Ribera de Triana's 1 June to 15 September.
Key takeaways
- One of seventeen publishes a pool size; none publishes a length or depth.
- Five publish a year-round pool; Ribera de Triana's closes on 15 September.
- Two hotels publish two different seasons on the same page: Bécquer and Barceló.
- Sevilla Center's under-16 rule exists only in its 23-page internal rules PDF, not on the pool page.
Which one fits how you travel

| Swimming early | Hotel Giralda Center | Opens at 9, the earliest in the city, all year. |
| Swimming late | Hotel Kivir | Open until 10 at night from March to October, though the hotel recommends itself for adults. |

What the bands mean
No Spanish hotel publishes a static nightly rate, so the bands are relative tiers. What the operators do publish is the rest: EME Catedral Mercer's extra bed at 75 euro a night for a child up to 12 and breakfast at 25 euro for an adult and 12.50 for a child, Mercer Sevilla's extra bed at 100 euro a night from age four, cots free to age three at both. Casa 1800 sells a summer pool day pass to non-guests, so its rooftop is not yours alone in July.

The 12 hotels, and who each one is wrong for
Walking times are to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal. Every hotel was routed on OpenStreetMap pedestrian routing at 4.5 km/h from its published address to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal on 6 September 2026. A first pass on a public router served car timings for the walking profile and produced errors of over two kilometres, and was discarded.
Santa Cruz
Hotel Casa 1800 Sevilla
€€€Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Google Maps from 958 reviews, as of October 2026Best all-roundA converted mansion in Santa Cruz, four minutes from the cathedral, with a rooftop pool the hotel says is open 365 days a year from 10 to 8. It is the best-placed year-round pool in the city.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 4 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- Anyone who wants to swim in February four minutes from the cathedral.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone expecting the roof to themselves in summer: the hotel sells day passes to non-guests in season.
- The catch
- The catch: In summer the pool is sold to non-guests on a day pass, so the one year-round old-town pool is also a public one when it is hottest. No size, no depth and no child rule are published.
San Bernardo
Hotel Giralda Center
€€Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Google Maps from 1,547 reviews, as of October 2026Best valueA modern hotel on the San Bernardo edge with a rooftop pool open all year from 9 in the morning to 8:30, the earliest opening published by any Seville hotel, and a lounge bar on the same terrace.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 18 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family who want a morning swim before the heat, at a mid-range rate outside the old town.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who wants to walk to the cathedral in under a quarter of an hour: it is 18 minutes.
- The catch
- The catch: It is outside the old town, 18 minutes from the cathedral. Its sister hotel's internal rules carry an under-16 pool rule, but no rules document is linked from this hotel's page, so the same rule cannot be assumed and none is published.
Encarnación
Casa Romana Hotel Boutique
€€Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Google Maps from 738 reviews, as of October 2026A boutique hotel north of the centre with a pool open all year from 10 to 8, free towels, and private pools on some of its Gran Deluxe rooms.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 16 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A couple who want a year-round pool and the option of a private one, away from the cathedral crowds.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who wants the pool's size or a child rule in writing: neither is published.
- The catch
- The catch: Sixteen minutes from the cathedral, no size published, and no children's rule of any kind. Whether the pool is free for guests is not stated in those words.
Santa Justa
Only YOU Hotel Sevilla
€€Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Google Maps from 1,020 reviews, as of October 2026The only Seville hotel that publishes a pool size, 70 square metres, on the ground floor beside Santa Justa station, open all year with bathing from 10 to 8 and a seasonal pool bar next to it.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 32 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family arriving by train who want the biggest pool anyone in Seville will put a number on.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who wants to walk to the old town: it is 32 minutes to the cathedral.
- The catch
- The catch: It is by the railway station, 32 minutes from the cathedral, and the hotel's own page warns that pool use may be restricted at periods of maximum occupancy. The swim-up bar that appears in reviews is not on the operator's site; the bar is beside the pool.
Santa Cruz
Hotel Amadeus
€€€Rated 4.5 out of 5 on Google Maps from 571 reviews, as of October 2026A music-themed hotel in Santa Cruz whose salt-water rooftop pool is the only one in Seville described as heated in winter, available all year, with a jacuzzi on the same terrace facing the Giralda.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 8 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- Anyone who wants a warm pool in January eight minutes from the cathedral.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who plans around hours: none are published for the pool.
- The catch
- The catch: No hours, no size and no child rule are published for the pool, so the year-round claim comes with no timetable attached.
El Arenal
Hotel Kivir
€€A river-front hotel in El Arenal with a rooftop pool open from 1 March to 31 October, 11 in the morning to 10 at night, the latest closing published by any Seville hotel, and a skyline bar on the same roof.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 11 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A couple who want an evening swim until ten with the river below.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: A family: the hotel's own FAQ says it is recommended for adults and has no family rooms.
- The catch
- The catch: The hotel says in its own FAQ that it is recommended for adults and has no family rooms, so the late hours are not for children. No size is published beyond a small oasis.
El Arenal
Hotel Bécquer
€€Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Google Maps from 3,682 reviews, as of October 2026A long-established hotel by the Triana bridge with a rooftop pool the FAQ calls moderate-sized, open from late March, with a solarium that stays open to guests even when the pool is shut.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 12 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family who want a rooftop pool twelve minutes from the cathedral with an honest note about supervision.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone booking the first week of October on the strength of one page: the other page says the pool has closed.
- The catch
- The catch: Two seasons on one site: the pool page says 27 March to 31 October, the FAQ says March until the end of September depending on the weather. Both were live on 6 September and both are recorded. Hours are only available at reception, there is no lifeguard, and the hotel asks for constant adult supervision of children.
Santa Cruz
Hotel Doña María
€€Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Google Maps from 3,010 reviews, as of October 2026A classic hotel facing the Giralda with a large outdoor rooftop pool open 15 April to 30 September, whose hours, 11 to 7:30, appear only in the hotel's own internal rules, and whose deck is a public bar until one in the morning.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 4 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- Anyone who wants to swim four minutes from the cathedral with the Giralda over the water.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who wants a quiet deck: the terrace bar is open to the public every day from 1pm to 1am.
- The catch
- The catch: The pool is guests-only but the deck around it is a public bar from 1pm to 1am, and food and drink at the pool must be bought there. The pool hours are not on the marketing pages at all; they are article 9 of a rules document.
Santa Cruz
EME Catedral Mercer
€€€€Rated 4.2 out of 5 on Google Maps from 2,636 reviews, as of October 2026The rooftop hotel directly opposite the cathedral, with a pool open 11 to 8 every day of the week in season, reserved for guests, and the most explicit child welcome in the set.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 4 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- Anyone who wants to swim in front of the cathedral and will pay for the address.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who needs the season dated: the hotel says only that facilities may vary by season.
- The catch
- The catch: No opening months are published, only a note that facilities vary by season. Extra beds are 75 euro a night for children up to 12, breakfast is 25 euro an adult and 12.50 a child, and the pool's size is not stated.
Nervión
Hotel Sevilla Center
€Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Google Maps from 5,094 reviews, as of October 2026A large hotel in Nervión with a third-floor terrace pool, a kiosk bar beside it, and a child rule that exists only inside its 23-page internal regulations: no bathing or solarium use for under-16s unless accompanied by their parents.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 21 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family on a budget who have read the rules document and are travelling with their teenagers.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: A teenager travelling with an aunt, a grandparent or a school group: the rule says parents.
- The catch
- The catch: The terrace page gives 11 to 8 daily and no age rule; the rules PDF gives 10 to 8 in summer and the under-16 rule. Both readings stand. Glass and food are banned in the pool zone, room towels are banned at the pool, and pool towels need a 10-euro deposit. It is 21 minutes from the cathedral.
Isla de la Cartuja
Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento
€€€Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Google Maps from 7,926 reviews, as of October 2026A conference-scale hotel on the Cartuja island with three pools, an outdoor one, a children's pool and a heated indoor one, and the most detailed child rules in Seville: under-14s with an adult in the indoor pool in winter, and the indoor pool adults-only through the summer.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 42 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family with small children who want a dedicated children's pool and a heated indoor one in winter.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone booking on the outdoor season, which the hotel states two ways on one page.
- The catch
- The catch: Two seasons on the same page: the services block says the outdoor pool runs April to the first week of September, the FAQ lower down says April to October, both weather dependent. It is 42 minutes on foot from the cathedral, across the river on the Cartuja.
Triana
Hotel Ribera de Triana
€Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Google Maps from 4,273 reviews, as of October 2026A riverside hotel in Triana with a small rooftop pool open daily from 1 June to 15 September, 10 to 9, free for guests with towels against a deposit, and the shortest published season in the city.
- Walk to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- 24 min to the cathedral's Puerta de San Cristóbal
- Right for
- A family in July who want a pool at the lowest rate on this page and do not mind the walk.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone travelling outside 1 June to 15 September, or on a day the hotel has booked the roof for an event.
- The catch
- The catch: The season is the shortest here, 1 June to 15 September, and the hotel says the pool can close for adverse weather or for private events booked at the hotel. It is 24 minutes from the cathedral.
Where not to book in Seville
Five famous names have no pool, verified on their own sites: Hotel Inglaterra, whose rooftop bar admits children staying at the hotel only until 10pm and over-12s after that; Vincci La Rábida; Hotel Alcázar; Palacio Pinello; and Eurostars Torre Sevilla, whose only water is a hydrotherapy pool in its 35th-floor health club, not a swimming pool. Six hotels could not be read because their operators refused every request or their sites have gone: the Alfonso XIII, Meliá Sevilla, Colón Gran Meliá, NH Collection Sevilla, Fernando III, and Hotel Alminar, whose domain now serves a parked page. Nothing is claimed about any of them. Corral del Rey, Palacio de Villapanés, H10 Casa de la Plata, Mercer Sevilla and Las Casas de la Judería all have rooftop water but publish no season for it; Villapanés's own word is alberca, and the plunge pools at Corral del Rey and H10 are plunge pools in the operators' own words.
When to book
Seasons decide this more than dates. Between mid-April and late September almost every pool here is open; from October to March the list collapses to five, and only Amadeus says its water is heated. Book a year-round pool for a winter trip and confirm the season on the hotel's own page the week you travel, because two hotels here publish two different closing months on the same site.
