Seven Historical Suites

Top choice in Trieste


Yes, there are seven suites and they are, indeed, historical, nestled on the beamed attic floor of a grand 1884 commercial building. Still, their lavish size, a slick contemporary way with glass, marble, stone and iron, and their incredible collections of Sicilian objects and antique furniture, are a surprise departure from Trieste's usual haute Habsburg style. Parking costs €23 per night.

Apart from the absolute luxury of the spaces themselves, each suite has a fully equipped kitchen stocked with beautiful ceramics, pewter and stemware, plus 24/7 access to a personal concierge. There's also an exquisite two-bedroom 'owners' suite' up for rent, lined with museum-quality artworks and with beautiful views.
