The Fira Palace Hotel is a well-equipped, traditionally-styled hotel in Barcelona's business district. Renowned for its spacious rooms, the hotel is popular with the corporate market, but is very much suited to leisure travellers too.

The facilities

Extensive, as befits its four-star status. There's myriad meeting and function rooms (that take up nearly 3000 sqm) as well as free internet access on-site. Wifi access is available throughout (but for an additional hourly fee). Regional cuisine with some international favourites thrown in is the order of the day at El Mall restaurant, whilst the piano bar area is lively and trendy, great for evening cocktails.

There's also a large heated indoor pool on site, a gym, sauna and massage room. A gift shop is located in the lobby, and there's a private laundry service provided as well as enough parking facilities to house 232 cars.

The rooms

Each of the Fira Palace Hotel's 276 guestrooms is traditional in style, in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Each have flat screen televisions, pay-per-view movies, Italian marble bathrooms and laptop sized safes. Wheelchair-friendly guestrooms are available.
