A synthetic resin container possessing a higher gas barrier property, and having a coating film possessing a higher gas barrier property and positioned on an inner surface and/or outer surface of a body of the container, wherein the coating film (2) is constituted of a layered coating including at least a gas barrier coating (2a) and a cover coating (2b), the cover coating being positioned at a topmost side of the coating film. The cover coating (2b) includes a layer positioned at a topmost side of the cover coating and possessing such a water repellency that the layer has a contact angle with water of 80° to 100°. The layers (2a, 2b) constituting the coatings, respectively, are each formed by vapor deposition and each have a refractive index in a range of 1.3 to 1.6.
