Kimpton Vividora Barcelona

I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Marbella, Spain and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental. I've been a Spain specialist since 2019, which means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years. Here, I'm sharing a collection of my favorite hotels.

I get asked a lot about where to stay in Barcelona and which hotels to choose. So here is the ultimate guide that explains all the neighbourhoods with their pros and cons, including my hotel recommendations for all budgets in each neighbourhood. If you book through the Booking link I added to each hotel, I'll be earning a bit of commission in return, so I'd be super happy if you book it through here. At the end of the list, you will also find my suggestions of where NOT to stay! So, shall we start?
