This historic hotel opened when Trieste was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is not a coincidence that, when it opened in 1911, it was acclaimed as “the most important and luxurious hotel in the Austro-Hungarian Empire”. A towering presence on the historic seafront, with an impressive white façade gazing over the endless view of the Gulf of Trieste, the hotel makes an unforgettable first impression. But inside is where the magic really begins.
It was designed by Austrian architect Ladislaus Fiedler in the early 20th century, during a period when Trieste was a bustling port city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The hotel was envisioned as a grand establishment that would cater to the needs of affluent travellers and dignitaries, offering a blend of luxurious accommodations and world-class service.
The hotel's architecture is a striking example of the grandiose style typical of its era, characterized by its neoclassical facade and ornate interior design. The building's exterior features elaborate stucco work, Corinthian columns, and expansive windows that offer stunning views of the sea. Inside, guests are greeted by opulent interiors adorned with crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and intricate frescoes.
The Savoia Excelsior Palace boasts a range of elegant rooms and suites, each meticulously decorated to combine modern comfort with classic charm. Many rooms offer panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, enhancing the luxurious experience.
In the sophisticated ambience of the Savoy restaurant, Chef Andrea Stoppari presents a gourmet gastronomic experience with creative cuisine and sublime traditional local dishes accompanied by the finest wines and set off by stunning seafront views. Le Rive Lounge Bar, with its grand windows overlooking the sweeping Gulf, is the perfect place for aperitifs, with its delicious selection of appetizers that reflect the style and quality of cuisine at the Savoy restaurant.
This is more than just a hotel; it is a cultural icon of Trieste. Over the years, it has hosted numerous celebrities, political figures, and artists, contributing to its storied legacy. Its location in Trieste places guests within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions, such as the Piazza Unità d'Italia, the historic Castello di Miramare, and the Teatro Lirico Giuseppe Verdi.
