In association with Ateliers Jean Nouvel

The 110 metre high Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel is located on Plaça Europa, now one of Barcelona’s most important squares. It breaks away from the standard architectural paradigms for this type of building with a vertical garden that provides a different way of living in and experiencing the city.

The hotel consists of 357 rooms, 11 meetings rooms, a panoramic restaurant, a fitness centre with a heated indoor pool, a terrace bar including a gazebo with a lookout, an outdoor pool and a solarium. The facades facing east and west are luminous and almost blindingly white, while the north façade is matte black. The chromatic differentiation doesn’t stop there, penetrating the rooms adjacent to these façades with walls in the same colour, some predominantly white, others in black.
