1898 The Post

Rooms

The hotel has 38 rooms and suites, and the rooms are named with a post office theme. In order of smallest to largest room, you can choose the Stamp, Postcard, Envelope, Letter, Carriage, or Carriage with terrace. The rooms all share similar decor, with dark-green walls, rustic-looking wood and antique furniture. The Postcard, Letter and Carriage rooms have a living room downstairs and bedroom upstairs.

The suites are named with numbers except for the Tower Suite, located in the clock tower, and the Loft, which includes a living room with a library. Each suite has individual advantages, such as being more romantic, better for families or higher up for better views.

All rooms include an en suite bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite TV and minibar.
