Barcelona: Hotel 1898
THE BASICS
Hotel 1898, the name recalls the lost years in Spain, the Philippines, in the
Spanish-American war. If there is still painful emotions, if you do not find
the old hotel on year. Housed in the former Central of France tobacco, Hotel
1898 will be the 19th Century to the generosity Spain.
Inside, ceiling fans schwirrend move in the air, brick sidewalks part of sisal
floors, and a type of catering equipment meets Ralph Lauren-Look is the
atmosphere. Etta James and Frank Sinatra early play softly in the background
and in the lobby of the hotel is filled with deck chairs in black leather. It

a yacht club colonial my standard room (No. 506), the walls bright red, white
verkleidend, canvas, curtains, and a map of the South China Sea. The king-size
bed was very comfortable, and the individual rooms available, such as a
lighting system and a customized menu pillow. The Hotels in Barcelona window in acorner, eyes a piece of Raval District, as well as my neighbors' balconies. The
only obvious shortcoming was the small cabinet, barely large enough for a
weekend, worth held.
