The Hotel 1898 is a prestigious 4-star superior hotel located in a beautifully preserved historic building, former headquarters of the General Company of the Philippines. Positioned on the famous Las Ramblas of Barcelona, it offers a stay experience that combines the colonial splendor of the era with modern comforts. It is an oasis of tranquility in the beating heart of the city, a short walk from the Boqueria Market and the Gothic Quarter.
The interior design is deeply influenced by its historical past, with exotic elements and noble materials evoking a journey through time. The rooms are spacious and elegant, tastefully decorated and equipped with every comfort, many offering private balconies overlooking the bustling Rambla or the quiet inner courtyard. The common areas, particularly the library and the fireplace room, reflect the opulence of late 19th-century Catalan architecture.
The hotel boasts the rare feature of having two distinct pool areas. The heated indoor pool is located in the building's former stables and offers an intimate setting. The real highlight is the rooftop pool (Sky Terrace), which guarantees a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, perfect for admiring the Sagrada Familia, Montjuïc, and the Mediterranean. It is the ideal place to relax while sipping a cocktail at the Sky Bar.
Hotel 1898's culinary proposal focuses on Mediterranean and Catalan cuisine, with a touch of Philippine and Cuban influences, paying homage to the building's history. The restaurant offers refined dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients in an elegant setting. Attentive service and a selected wine list complete a high-level gastronomic experience.
In addition to the pools, the hotel offers a complete wellness center with a sauna and regenerative treatments, an essential retreat after urban exploration. The location, despite being ultra-central, guarantees surprising quietness in the interior rooms, offering a perfect balance between immediate access to city life and the need for luxurious and undisturbed rest.
