🏊Why Girona is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Choosing a hotel with a swimming pool in Girona significantly enhances the family travel experience. It provides a dedicated space for children to play and cool off, especially during warmer months, offering a welcome break from sightseeing. For parents, it means moments of relaxation by the water, knowing the kids are entertained in a safe environment. These hotels often become a central hub for family activities, fostering a sense of vacation and creating lasting memories. The convenience of having a pool on-site also reduces the need to seek external entertainment, simplifying your travel plans.
Girona's pool hotels are mostly small city hotels, and the best family choices sit within walking distance of the Barri Vell. Hotel Palau de Bellavista Girona by URH, about 10 minutes on foot from the historic centre, combines an outdoor swimming pool with a kids' club, spa services, a roof terrace and free private parking, which helps families arriving by car from the Costa Brava. DoubleTree by Hilton Girona has a rooftop swimming pool next to Devesa Park, the city's large plane-tree park, and is pet-friendly. Both work well as a base for a few days of walking the old town with children.
For a quieter stay close to the cathedral, Hotel Nord 1901 is a family-run four-star with a garden terrace and a small pool, a short walk from Girona Cathedral and the coloured houses along the Onyar river. Some units are apartments with kitchenettes, which makes early dinners and breakfasts easier with young children. Hotel Palau Fugit adds family suites, a seasonal outdoor pool, spa facilities and bike rental, a good fit for families who want more space. Seasonal pools in Girona usually open from late spring to early autumn, so check dates for shoulder-season trips.
Families who want the highest-rated stays should look at Hotel Esperit Roca and Hotel Castell de Vallgornera. Hotel Esperit Roca, rated 9.5, has a seasonal outdoor pool, spa facilities, a fitness centre, a Catalan restaurant and rooms with balconies. Hotel Castell de Vallgornera, rated 9.6, offers family rooms with a fridge and a saltwater swimming pool, which many children find gentler on the eyes, plus bike hire for exploring. Note that AS Palau dels Alemanys Suites in the old town is adults-only, so it is not an option for families despite its terrace and kitchenettes.
Girona's summers are warm rather than scorching, which makes a pool the perfect partner to sightseeing. Mornings can go to the cathedral steps, the old Jewish quarter and the walk along the medieval city walls, with the pool in the afternoon. Devesa Park, beside DoubleTree by Hilton Girona, has shaded paths and play areas for an evening run-around. The Costa Brava beaches around Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d'Aro are under an hour away by car, and the high-speed train reaches Barcelona in under 40 minutes for a city day.
Parent's take
From a parent's perspective, hotels with swimming pools in Girona are invaluable. They offer a built-in activity that keeps children entertained and happy, especially when they need a break from walking and sightseeing. The ability to return to the hotel for a swim before dinner or after a long day makes the entire trip more manageable and enjoyable for everyone. It's a simple amenity that significantly enhances the quality of family time.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Girona
- 1Book a hotel with parking if you are touring by car. Hotel Palau de Bellavista Girona by URH has free private parking and is about a 10-minute walk from the old town, which saves hunting for spaces in the narrow streets of the Barri Vell.
- 2Check seasonal pool dates before booking spring or autumn stays. Hotel Esperit Roca and Hotel Palau Fugit both have seasonal outdoor pools, so confirm the opening dates if you travel outside the summer months.
- 3Walk the city walls in the morning. The Passeig de la Muralla gives children views over the rooftops and the cathedral, and it is cooler before 11am, leaving the afternoon free for a swim.
- 4Choose an apartment-style room for longer stays. Hotel Nord 1901 has apartments with kitchenettes near the cathedral, handy for early meals with small children who cannot wait for Spanish dinner times.
- 5Use Devesa Park for evening play. The large shaded park next to DoubleTree by Hilton Girona has play areas and wide paths, a good place for children to run before bedtime.
- 6Plan a beach day on the Costa Brava. Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d'Aro are under an hour away by car, so you can pair Girona's pools with a day on the sand.
