Hotel description

Centrally located on La Rambla, the seductive appeal of 1898 lies in the studied attention to décor which combines colonial touches with the latest trends in design. The success of the renovation of this recently launched hotel lies in the impeccable restoration of its façade and the careful attention to detail of interior designer, Rosa Roselló, and the final look blends beautifully with the exotic and elegant photos of Maria Espeus. Hotel 1898 is located in a building which was once home to the Philippine Tobacco Company, built in 1881 by the Catalan architect Josep Oriol Mestres. Inside, whirring ceiling fans move the air, brick walkways are atmospheric and the lobby is filled with black leather couches. The result is an overwhelmingly calm space in the heart of the city.

The hotel has suites with private pool and gardens, and four categories of rooms, which are each soundproof and equipped with the finest finishings and technologies. It also has five conference rooms, restaurants, bars, cafés, a library, and a business centre with free internet access (ADSL and wireless). To stay fit or just to relax, visit the hotel gym, with outdoor pool, solarium, and state-of-the-art Spa.

Location

1898 is located on the liveliest stretch of La Rambla, between Plaça de Catalunya and the Liceu opera house. The hotel is a short walk from the Boqueria, a wonderful open-air market. The Pedrera, the Cathedral as well as the MACBA contemporary art museum are all within walking distance.

"Highly satisfactory stay in a great hotel (stylish, fantastic location, helpful staff, brilliant roof terrace). The only slight criticism is about the breakfast: too expensive vs. what you get, not great value. We chose to eat breafkast outside of the hotel as of day 2."

"Il servizio della spa non è molto curato ma per il resto l'atmosfera dell'hotel è bellissima, sembra di essere veramente di vivere ai tempi nella compagnia del Tabacco delle Filippine."

"Everything was to our satisfaction. I would make one recommendation and that is that the roof garden/lounge be open for a longer period in the evening."

"The roof terrace was excellent...a really nice feature! Lounging in the sun, drinking cocktails was a great respite from the busy city centre. It is a just a shame they dont have many rooms with double beds ..."

"I travel quite a lot on business and pleasure and regulalry stay in 4 and 5 dtar hotels and H1898 is one of the very best hotels I have ever stayed in. I had a prestige deluxe room (corner room, 3rd floor, overlooking the Ramblas) and it perfect in all respects."

"Great service--check-in staff wonderful!!! The hardwood floors were beautiful but you could hear a lot of noise through the night as people came up and down the hallway. The decor is elegant and striking but the service really makes the place."

"Fantastic hotel in terms of decor, facilities and location. Only negative was we arrived at 5pm and our room wasn't ready. Eventually we were upgraded and settled in. After this initial glitch everything else was great. Definitely recommend the roof top pool and bar!"

"We really ewnjoyed the swimming facilities and the rooftop. The room service was excellent. We we were invited to ask for a different pillow but did not get it. The heating controls didnt work but we left the window open. We loved the hotel and the decor and food, front desk was also very helpful. Many thanks for a lovely stay."

"We have extremely high comfort needs and this hotel exceeded our expectations. Our only suggestion is that a phone should be linked from the roof terrace to the bar so that you can order drinks"
