Housed in the former headquarters of the Philippine Tobacco Company — built 1898, the year Spain lost its colonies — this Eixample boutique hotel is a beautifully preserved piece of Barcelona history. Vaulted ceilings, original tilework, and a rooftop pool above La Rambla give it a character that most Ramblas-area hotels lack. Well-priced for the location and design quality.
Why We Chose It
Housed in the former headquarters of the Philippine Tobacco Company (built 1898), this boutique hotel is a beautifully preserved piece of Barcelona’s colonial history. Vaulted ceilings, original tilework, and a rooftop pool above La Rambla give it a character most Ramblas-area hotels lack. Well-priced for the location and design quality.
What Stands Out
