Kimpton Vividora Barcelona

Kimpton Vividora Barcelona is a standout retreat in the heart of Barcelona’s iconic Gothic Quarter—and the deserving recipient of the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Lifestyle Hotel in Spain. This recognition affirms its offering of heartfelt service, inspired design, and a vibrant connection to the city’s soul.

Born in 2020 as Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants’ first venture in Spain, Vividora marked the debut of the acclaimed IHG luxury boutique brand in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella district. Situated on Carrer del Duc, guests find themselves steps away from key cultural landmarks: Las Ramblas, the Cathedral of Barcelona, La Boqueria market, and Plaça Catalunya.

With 156 guestrooms and 10 suites, the property draws design inspiration from classic Barcelona apartments. Interiors mix terracotta hues with vibrant Mediterranean blues and bold graphic motifs. Marble accents, locally crafted wood furniture, patterned tiles, and curated Catalan artwork define the aesthetic narrative, shaped by collaborations between Kimpton’s Ave Bradley and Barcelona design firm El Equipo Creativo.

The culinary program includes three celebrated venues: Cafè Got, a light-flooded lobby café offering Catalan cheeses, vermouth, natural wines, and artisanal small plates; Fauna, a first-floor restaurant helmed by Chef Jordi Delfa, serving Mediterranean dishes with inventive local flair; and Terraza de Vivi, the rooftop terrace featuring a swimming pool, lush greenery, signature cocktails, small plates, and 360° views of Barcelona—from the Sagrada Família to Montjuïc.

Guests enjoy hallmark Kimpton perks such as a complimentary Social Hour each evening, tokening the brand’s commitment to convivial hospitality. The hotel’s pet‑friendly policy—“if it fits in the elevator, it is more than welcomed”—has welcomed hundreds of four‑legged guests at no extra charge. Additional amenities include a 24‑hour gym, wellness room, in‑room yoga mats, and complimentary classes, private transfers, bike/scooter rentals, and branded skateboards and tokyobikes to explore the city.

Kimpton Vividora is a vibrant local social hub reflecting Barcelona’s creative energy. Awarded Best Luxury Lifestyle Hotel in Spain 2025, the property elevates boutique hospitality with design‑led spaces, authentic local experiences, personalized service, and a spirited, inclusive atmosphere. It’s luxury without pretense—authentically Catalan, unapologetically joyful, undeniably memorable.
