Why we recommend it
Hotel 1898 occupies a handsome building on La Rambla linked to the General Philippines Tobacco Company, whose name is still carved on the façade. Inside, that colonial-era history is part of the hotel's identity.
La Isabela, the rooftop terrace with a pool, is a calm retreat above the crowds and has good views over the old town. The Spa Siargao below includes a thermal circuit and indoor pool. The location is ideal for walking to the Boqueria, the Gothic Quarter and El Raval, though rooms facing La Rambla can be lively, so ask for an inside room if you sleep lightly.
