Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel is a contemporary four-pearl hotel situated next to Europa/Fira train station and a short walk or drive from the Fira Barcelona Gran Via convention center. The hotel features a central atrium-style vertical garden soaring to the top of the 27-story structure, and also offers an excellent array of amenities, including indoor and seasonal rooftop pools, an indoor hot tub, fitness center with views, and a Mediterranean restaurant with outdoor dining. The 357, clean, spacious, and contemporary guest rooms have a minimalist look and are done in all white or all black. All come with 40-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The nearby Hotel SB Plaza Europa is slightly cheaper, but it's not as close to the convention center and doesn't have an indoor pool.

Situated right across the road from one of the continent’s largest trade and convention centers, this upscale 28-story hotel’s bright red color and unique round shape make an immediate impression. The iconic building (designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Toyo Ito) was completed in 2010, and the 311 designer rooms inside don’t disappoint. Slickly done in red, black, and white, all feature pillow menus, adjustable air-conditioning, plasma TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There’s a restaurant, bar and fitness center on-site. A metro station linking you to central Barcelona is just minutes away, but there’s no escaping the fact that the city sites aren’t on your doorstep. If you’re looking for a centrally located four-pearl alternative that offers a classic Catalan experience, consider Hotel 1898 instead.
