La Isabela

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Overlooking La Rambla, this tucked-away roof-terrace bar at the elegant Hotel 1898 is a soothing haven of stripy sun loungers, sprinkled greenery and glorious 360-degree views. Take in the Barcelona skyline over a glass of cava (€7), a creative cocktail infused with herbs fresh from La Boqueria market (€15) or perhaps a bottle of ecological Penedès wine (€35).
