Hotel 1898 takes its name from the building's past: a 19th-century block on La Rambla, commissioned by the Marqués de Comillas, that housed the General Philippines Tobacco Company. It runs 169 rooms in a colonial style that follows from that history, with a rooftop terrace and pool and a spa in the basement.

El Nido is the restaurant and Bar H1898 runs at ground level. La Isabela is the rooftop terrace, with a pool, which the hotel describes as an oasis of calm directly above the Rambla. Downstairs, Spa Siargao is organic and vegan, with a thermal circuit and a pool; the hotel bills it as the only spa on the Ramblas with both.
