Why it’s worth traveling for…
Kimpton Hotels’ first property in Spain, the stylish Kimpton Vividora — tucked away on a quiet pedestrian street — is located in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Located next to Las Ramblas and within walking distance to Barceloneta beach, the hotel borrows its modern design inspiration from stylish, upscale Barcelona apartments. The palette of warm, earthy tones alongside touches of rich Mediterranean blue gives a nod to the city’s coastal setting, while locally designed furniture brings elements of the neighborhood inside. Sink into an impossibly comfortable bed and take in the artful design elements — natural woods, sleek marble, subtle graphic motifs, and bold tiles.
