Barcelona Fira Hotel

Does anybody know anything about the NEW Renaissance Barcelona Fira hotel?

Not to be confused with the Renaissance Barcelona Hotel which this thread is discussing. But instead of starting a new thread I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone knew anything and/or had feedback about it. That and people will search for Barcelona Renaissance and hopefully this thread can handle discussion and comparison of both Barcelona Renaissance properties.

Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel

The most I can find out is that it used to be the Hotel Catalonia Fira.

It looks like it has been open a couple months if the reviews on tripadvisor are any indication. Generally good reviews on tripadvisor although it appears only one discusses Marriott Members and the lack of lounge but fails to mention whether they had status or whether breakfast was comped. I am sure it is per the rules, but curious as to whether anyone has first hand accounts they can share from this property.

FWIW, rates are much better than the other Renaissance for my dates next Sep.

Follow-up: After further consideration, I canceled the reservation at the Fira Renaissance and restored my reservation at the Barcelona Renaissance which appears to be in a much better and more central location.
