Review
A trendy boutique property in Barcelona’s charming and lively Gothic Quarter, Kimpton Vividora is the ideal base for young and young-at-heart travelers seeking a vibrant city experience. Guests are greeted by the property's coffee shop by day, cocktail bar by night which sets the tone for the stay. The contemporary design elements—think wood floors lined with deep teal, birds of paradise plants and pops of red and yellow velvet—make the property feel like a hip and intimate oasis in the bustling city. The staff wear many hats, from reservations to the concierge team and manage it all in a friendly and attentive manner.
Kimpton Vividora’s rooms are tastefully designed with a harmonious blend of leathers accented by deep navy blue touches and contemporary art. While the rooms are comfortable, with all the standard amenities, they tend to be on the cozier side space-wise. Those seeking more room to relax and better city views should book a higher room category.
The buzzing rooftop, Terraza de Vivi, is a vibrant hotspot for both guests and locals, serving up scenic views alongside Spanish tapas and cocktails (and brunch). The main restaurant, Fauna, specializes in a modern take on Mediterranean cuisine. There is also a rooftop pool, 24-hour gym and spa offering facials, massages, body scrubs, a gastro-wellness program and more.
