====Spain and Portugal<!-- This section is out of date, please refer to https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trenhotel -->==== In Spain, ''[[Trenhotel]]'' was a long-distance, overnight [[train]] service which used [[Talgo]] [[tilting train]]s technology and sleeping cars developed by the Spanish rail network operator [[Renfe]]. It was operated by [[Renfe]] and [[Comboios de Portugal|CP]] where it operated International Sud-Express and Lusitanea services between Spain and Portugal, and by its subsidiary [[Elipsos]] (a joint venture between Renfe and French [[SNCF]] with a 50% share each) when operating in [[France]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Italy]]. Trenhotel services were discontinued during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], this was due to some routes being covered by daytime high-speed trains, the age of rolling stock and the diminishing popularity of some of the services.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nuevo |first=Mar |last2=Fernández |first2=Alejandro |date=2021-03-12 |title=Estos son los últimos destinos de los trenes nocturnos en España |url=https://www.businessinsider.es/tren-hotel-dejaran-prestar-servicio-muy-pronto-828505 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=Business Insider España |language=es}}</ref> Renfe announced that trains to and from the Spanish region of [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] would eventually be reintroduced.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-05-30 |title=Renfe suprime el tren nocturno que Greta Thunberg eligió como opción más sostenible |url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/economia/20200531/481443734491/renfe-suprime-rutas-tren-hoteles-lusitania-greta.html |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=La Vanguardia |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-06-02 |title=Renfe no suprimirá definitivamente el tren hotel que une Galicia con Barcelona |url=https://www.lanuevacronica.com/actualidad/renfe-no-suprimira-definitivamente-el-tren-hotel-que-une-galicia-con-barcelona_87788_102.html |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=La Nueva Crónica |language=es}}</ref> This marked the end of sleeper trains in Portugal and it left [[Celta (train)|Celta]] as the last international train service between Portugal and Spain. The Estrella (Star) is a low-cost night train between [[Madrid]] and [[Barcelona]] served by berth carriages, with compartments for up to 6 people.
