Hotel Savoia Excelsior Palace

The Habsburg-era, seafront Grand Hotel is Trieste's other luxury hotel, offering sumptuous contemporary glamour in place of the Duchi's tradition and history. It offers the most sumptuous public spaces and plush sea-view rooms in the city. The bar, with its crushed-velvet sofas, handmade silk lampshades and shining marble floor is the place to be seen at aperitivo time.
