Kimpton Vividora Hotel

This Kimpton property in the heart of Barcelona was a fantastic spot for our family to explore the city. It is close to many shops and restaurants. The beds were very comfortable, in fact the best out of all our accommodations in Spain and the rooms are clean and modern. We loved the rooftop bar and pool it was a wonderful respite from the busy streets. We had dinner on the rooftop as well and it was fantastic! They also have a wine hour from 6-7 with free drinks in the lobby which many enjoyed. And if you are just looking for a quick baked good or sandwich, you can find that in the lobby bar along with a coffee or tea.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Kimpton Vividora Hotel during our two-week trip to Spain to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, and we could not have chosen a better place. Perfectly located in the Gothic Quarter, it is an easy walk to charming shops, fantastic restaurants and the metro, ideal for exploring the beautiful city of Barcelona. Our suite was a real treat. The spacious bathroom, lovely balcony and elegant design made it feel extra special. On arrival, we were surprised with a warm welcome letter, a delicious cake and a thoughtful bottle of wine, a gesture that truly touched us. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable. Every member of the staff deserves a round of applause, from security at the entrance to the housekeeping team, who ensured our room was spotless throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the evening turndown service, complete with fresh towels and chocolates, and the daily replenishment of complimentary bottled water. Housekeeping also kept our room beautifully stocked with gorgeous toiletries, a small touch that made a big difference. I had a sore knee during our stay, and the team kindly prepared and delivered an ice pack to our room each evening. That kind of attentiveness and care is rare and deeply appreciated. Breakfast was another highlight. With an abundant selection and truly attentive wait staff, we felt well looked after each morning. The salmon eggs Benedict were a standout, absolutely unforgettable. We also enjoyed spending time on the rooftop. While the pool is a shallow dipping pool, it is perfect for cooling off and taking in the magnificent views over the city. We highly recommend the Kimpton Vividora Hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are already looking forward to returning.

This was a charming boutique hotel with an excellent location in the Gothic Quarter. The room was comfortable, well appointed, and roomy. The hospitality staff made sure we always had fresh bottles of water, maintained our coffee and tea, and left chocolates every day. There was a wine Happy Hour every day. There are many other features in the hotel which we did not have a chance to take advantage of. The staff was top notch. They couldn’t be more helpful and all the doormen were warm, friendly and went out of their way to assist you. All in all it was a great stay.

From the moment we arrived at Kimpton Vividora, we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of bubbly—and the experience only got better from there. The staff was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. Our room was absolutely stunning, blending comfort and style effortlessly. The breakfast buffet was a standout—easily rivaling (and exceeding) what you’d find in an exclusive luxury hotel lounge. The location couldn’t have been more ideal for exploring the city on foot. As a longtime Kimpton enthusiast, this stay exceeded all my expectations.

The most amazing evening. The staff were extremely attentive (a special mention to Sonia who couldn’t have been more happy to help with photos, drinks, snacks. Nothing was too much for her even when we did talk her ear off a bit. A genuine lovely girl.) and the cocktails were lovely. The view from the terrace was stunning my partner surprised me with an evening on the terrace with a sunset view and a look over Barcelona and many landmarks. I would 100% recommend but definitely book ahead for the best views 😍
