Interiors of a Preferente-class "Superasiento Reclinable" Talgo 4 car (TA4L-421 ) diagrammed on Trenhotel 874 "Antonio Gaudi" Madrid-Barcelona.

This car was rebuilt in the early-90s from former daytime TA4-401 cars, to offer Sleeperette accommodation on Trenhotel services, at Preferente-class fares, though.

The "Antonio Gaudi" remains the only domestic Trenhotel to offer such accommodation. Other domestic services (+ "Lusitania" on Madrid-Lisbon) offer Preferente- and/or Turista-class conventional seated-accommodation. Conversely, "Superasiento Reclinable" is available on all Elipsos services to Paris, Zurich and Milan, with TA6L-621 cars.
