Kimpton Vividora Barcelona

The story

Kimpton Vividora sits a short walk from Barcelona Cathedral, Las Ramblas, Plaça Reial and El Born, yet the building itself stays quiet. Rooms and suites range from family options to ones with private terraces. Guests are greeted with a glass of champagne, and a complimentary wine hour gathers people in the lobby each evening. Food and drink run through Casa de Vivi, an all-day bar, dining room and terrace whose interior won a design award. Fauna serves locally inspired breakfasts, lunches and dinners, with a generous morning buffet of pastries, omelettes, pancakes and crepes. Upstairs, the Vivi Terrace pairs cocktails and small plates with a small pool and panoramic views over the city, and hosts sunrise yoga once a week.
