HOTEL 1898 | BARCELONA

Hotel 1898 is placed in the center of Barcelona, in Las Ramblas Street. This building was first a council seminary, then home of Marquis Comillas, from 1929 it was in possession of Philippines Tobacco Company, and, finally, since 2005 it has been a hotel. So the edifice itself has a long history. The name of the hotel – the year 1898 – was chosen because that is when the British rule over the Philippines ended.
