Intercontinental Hotels Group is set to open its first Crowne Plaza property in Barcelona.
The Crowne Plaza Barcelona Fira Center will be less than 100 metres away from the Fira Barcelona Convention Centre next to Plaza Espana Square. It is scheduled to open during the first quarter of this year.
The new 276 room hotel will have the largest conference and meeting facilities of any Crowne Plaza hotel in Europe.
Other facilities will include a "Wellness Centre", a gym and a VIP club lounge.
Hylko Versteeg, IHG’s development director for Spain and Portugal, said: “Barcelona is a key city for us in Europe and our Crowne Plaza brand is absolutely the right fit for this area.
“The property’s fantastic facilities and central location will provide the hotel with a competitive advantage and Hotel Fira S.A.U is the perfect partner to help IHG continue to grow in Spain.”
