Hotels in Barcelonaa historic upscale 4-star on La Rambla
8.9/10
Old-world comfort and excellent pools, with La Rambla construction the main catch.
Hotel 1898 is a historic upscale 4-star on La Rambla, and a strong pick for sightseeing with somewhere comfortable to recharge. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests consistently praise the helpful staff, cleanliness and comfortable rooms. The rooftop pool and bar are genuine draws, while the atmospheric basement spa adds more than you'd expect from a typical city 4-star. We'd choose it for a couples' break built around exploring central Barcelona on foot.
The biggest caveat is outside: La Rambla's major reconstruction remains underway, with completion expected in 2027. Recent guests report varying disruption, though several say their rooms stayed quiet. Entry-level Classic rooms face an interior courtyard, so don't assume a street view. The outdoor pool has winter restrictions, and the indoor spa is restricted to ages 16 and up. We'd skip it for a quiet neighborhood escape or a family trip centered on indoor swimming.
