Hotel 1898

The former Compañía de Tabacos Filipinas building has been resurrected as a handsome luxury hotel crowned by a sleek rooftop terrace, La Isabela bar and pool. Rooms are smartly updated without losing their old-world elegance, with marble bathrooms, hardwood floors, tasteful furniture and rich red or navy walls; some are smallish, but deluxes and suites have terraces. Spa, gym and indoor pool.
