The Kimpton Vividora is in Barcelona’s historic Gothic Quarter — just a couple of minutes off Las Ramblas and five minutes from the cathedral — and is something of a sanctuary amid the crowds of sightseers, winding streets packed with skateboarding shops and endless branches of Zara and Mango.
The city’s favourite neighbourhoods, from El Raval and El Born to the Gaudi-filled Passeig de Gràcia, are just a few minutes’ walk away. While quieter areas, like Eixample, are easily doable from the nearby Metro station.
