The charm and seduction of the newly opened 1898 Hotel lie both within the impeccable restoration of its façade, as well as in the studied and elegant interior design executed by Rosa Roselló and her team, who have combined colonial touches with the finest materials and the latest trends in design, for a final look that blends beautifully with the exotic and elegant photographs of Maria Espeus.
The Hotel 1898 is built in the structure that was once home to the Philippine Tobacco Company. It was built in 1881 by Catalan architect Josep Oriol Mestres. After a series of remodelings in the early 20th century, the building was home to the offices of the tobacco company and several financial entities, until just a few years ago.
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 Center 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.
The 1898 Hotel’s fabulous location gives its guests total access to all the major attractions in Barcelona, like Plaza Catalunya, Liceu, the Boqueria Marketplace, Casa Batlló, the Cathedral, the port, the Born, and several museums, including the Picasso Museum and the Contemporary Art Museum.
And because it is located right in the heart of town, the 1898 Hotel is easily accessible through public transport. Different metro lines, buses, night buses, tour buses, taxi stops and regional trains all have stops located conveniently close by, to help you get around the city.

This hotel is beautiful and what impressed me most was the great calming feeling walking into it from the buzz of The Ramblas. A fantastic hotel and will stay again when in Barcelona.

The hotel was perfect in every sense...the great location on La Ramblas, 5 star service, stylish terrace, excellent spa facilities, beautifully decorated throughout, excellent breakfast etc etc. We stayed here for a 4 day weekend break and I would definitely stay here again as I couldn't fault it on ANYTHING! If you're fussy and expect good value for money then I don't think you will be disappointed. I would highly recommend it for ages 30 up as it has a nice, peaceful atmosphere, as well as being very cool!

Hotel was in an excellent location - lots of great tapas bars in the vicinity and a relaxing roof pool when you wanted to escape the buzz of the city. Didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. Would definitely stay here again - its great value.
