While taxiing into gate at approximately 2-3 KTS; both my First Officer and I picked up our initial lead in marshaled. The taxiway was clear with an EMB-190 to our left that was parked in front of a maintenance hangar. While following this Marshaller's lead he directed me to pick up the Marshaller on the lead in line near the jetway. I made visual contact with this Marshaller and began following his guidance. The initial Marshaller then moved up and now became our left wing walker. I now had a total of three marshallers; lead in; left Wing Walker; and right Wing Walker. I was following the lead in Marshaller who was lining me up on the lead in line; and my left Wing Walker was giving me an all clear. We then felt a thud and both of us realized that our left wingtip fence had made contact with the tail cone of the EMB-190. I brought the aircraft to a complete stop; shut down the left engine and requested a tug to tow us to the gate. There were no injuries to either crew or customers.
A320 Captain reported their wingtip fence made contact with a parked aircraft during gate arrival.
