HOTELS near MWC 2014 at Fira Gran Via Exhibition centre Hotels near MWC 2014. The Fira Gran Via exhibition centre is excellent, but apart from shopping malls and an IKEA, there are few attractions in this commercial area, so many MWC visitors will probably prefer to find accommodation in central Barcelona. There are a number of new and modern hotels and aparthotels close to the Gran Via exhibition centre which you can find on the links below. But the Gran Via exhibition centre is quite close to the city centre by train or taxi, so you can also choose hotels in the centre of Barcelona.
