Kimpton Vividora: Pre-Cruise Hotel Review

The verdict

Kimpton Vividora takes the dog. It's pet-friendly, with a rooftop infinity pool and the Terraza de Vivi from 10 am, in 151 rooms on Carrer del Duc — about 2.1 road miles from WTC Barcelona by our routing.

Some of its facts are softer than we'd like — summaries, not the hotel's own words. The pet terms aren't printed, and its star category came from a page summary we couldn't confirm.

There's no on-site parking, only a partner car park nearby with no price. Breakfast may be included depending on the rate, so read yours.

Book it for the roof and the pet policy, and get the pet terms in writing.

Heading out

To the terminal

Kimpton doesn't give a port distance — our routing puts WTC Barcelona about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) away and the Moll Adossat terminal road about 3.3 miles (5.3 km). Allow more than our 14-minute routing from Kimpton Vividora to the Moll Adossat — that figure assumes clear roads.

While you sail

Your car

No on-site parking: Kimpton points to a partner car park nearby, with no price. Nothing about a car left for a cruise.

To the Ship

Getting here, and on to the ship

This hotelOther ranked hotels, tap one to open itCruise terminalStraight line to the ship, not a routeReal geography: NOAA’s GSHHG shoreline, generalised, so quays and breakwaters like the Moll Adossat aren’t drawn in full. Pins from the Esri World Geocoder’s address and place points; Barceló Sants sits at Wikipedia’s point for Sants station, H10 Montcada at a Via Laietana street point, and El Palace isn’t pinned. The Moll Adossat pin is the Terminal B point, not a measured gate.

By our routing BCN is about 9.8 miles from Kimpton Vividora and the Moll Adossat about 3.3, figures for empty roads, not the Ronda Litoral at rush hour.
