Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Opened in 2006, the marble-floored lobby of the Hotel 1898 is an oasis of calm in the centre of the city, a world away from the bustle of La Rambla. Business travellers and tourists enjoy drinks at the bar and relax on sofas beneath gently whirring ceiling fans. Black and white movies play on a plasma-screen television, setting the tone for a hotel that combines old-world style with modern touches.
Amenity highlights: In summer guests can take a dip in the outdoor rooftop swimming pool, and enjoy views over Barcelona from the sundeck. The basement houses an indoor pool and health spa offering cardio gym, sauna, steam room, power showers and myriad treatments. Business travellers are catered for with complimentary wireless Internet access throughout the hotel, a business centre, and meetings rooms with a seated capacity of up to 300.
Insider tip: To discover a different side of La Rambla, guests should consider venturing out before breakfast or after dinner. Without the crowds there is more space to walk and admire the fascinating architecture that fills both sides of the boulevard.
