Hotel 1898

Hotel 1898 occupies a landmark 19th-century colonial building directly on La Rambla, Barcelona's most celebrated pedestrian thoroughfare, between the Liceu opera house and Plaça de Catalunya. The hotel's name commemorates the year Spain lost its last overseas colonies, and the property retains a handsome sense of historical character throughout its public spaces and rooms. Guests have access to a rooftop terrace with a seasonal outdoor pool and sweeping views over the Gothic Quarter and La Rambla below, as well as a full-service spa with sauna, steam room, and fitness centre. Two café-bars, a restaurant with Mediterranean-influenced menu, and a library complete the in-house amenities. Children stay free, making this a popular choice for families as well as couples and solo travellers. The hotel's address on La Rambla 109 places it within a five-minute walk of the Boqueria market, the waterfront at Port Vell, and the maze of the Barri Gòtic. The Barceloneta beach and the Born district are also reachable on foot in under twenty minutes.
