Kimpton Vividora is a five-star Kimpton hotel on Carrer del Duc, 15, deep in the Barri Gòtic. The rooftop, Terraza de Vivi, is the best-known part of it, and the site serves brunch there with bottomless mimosas. The kitchen is Fauna, under the Catalan chef Marcel López, and there is a spa and wellness offering plus a pool. The hotel describes itself as connecting guests to the Gothic Quarter and the city beyond it.
A five-star Kimpton on a medieval lane, with a rooftop and a chef-driven restaurant rather than a historic building
Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
We cannot give you room advice here, and we would rather leave it out than invent it. The site's room pages did not yield sizes, categories or a floor-by-floor comparison when we read them, so anything we wrote about which room to book would be guesswork. What we can say is that the two things the hotel sells hardest are the rooftop and the restaurant, and the rooftop brunch and the Fauna tasting menu are experiences you can have whether or not you upgrade your room. Check the room list and prices on the booking site, and if the size of the room matters to you, ask before you pay rather than after.
