Palace Suite

In the very heart of Trieste city centre, this boutique hotel sits minutes from the Roman Theatre, Piazza Unità d'Italia, Cathedral of San Giusto and Castello di San Giusto. Walkable to theatres, canals and historic squares. Pet-friendly and perfect for travelers who want central, on-foot exploration.

A compact property with 16 air-conditioned rooms that feel like mini-apartments — each features a kitchen area (refrigerator and stovetop or microwave), a 38-inch flat-screen TV with satellite, a safe and a desk. Rooms may include a mini-bar and slippers, and many offer city-view windows for morning coffee. Décor is clean, simple and practical.

Complimentary wireless internet and concierge service keep things easy. On-site restaurant, bar/lounge and limited-hours room service cover meals and drinks. There's a TV in a common area, parking zone, elevator, laundry and dry-cleaning services — and yes, pets are allowed.

A 24-hour business center plus conference and meeting facilities (about 1,399 sq ft / 130 m²) make the hotel a solid pick for small events. Complimentary newspapers in the lobby and business services round out the setup.

The on-site restaurant focuses on local cuisine while the bar/lounge is a low-key spot for drinks. Room service is available during limited hours for late arrivals or quiet nights in.
