Travelers' Choice
Savoia Excelsior Palace is a hotel of timeless charm that immediately evokes all the Mitteleuropean's splendor. 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”. The hotel remains an emblem of the majesty, sophistication and peerless style that distinguished the first grand hotels at the end of the 19th century. A towering presence on the historic seafront just off the city center, with an impressive white façade gazing over the endless view of the Gulf of Trieste, Savoia Excelsior Palace makes an unforgettable first impression. But inside is where the magic really begins. The 144 rooms and suites have been recently restyled with a blend of classic elegance and contemporary details. Many offer breathtaking views of the beautiful panorama of the Gulf of Trieste, extending almost as far as the historic Miramare Castle. The Savoy Restaurant by Eataly offers a gourmet experience with creative cuisine and traditional local delicacies, accompanied not only by the finest wine labels but also by superlative seafront views. Nine bright, elegant meeting rooms accommodating up to 320 guests are available to host both private gatherings and business events; our Event Manager is at your service. From the Concierge to the 24-hour room service, from the Wi-Fi to the tranquil library, all the hotel’s amenities are selected and personalized to offer you an exceptional stay in unparalleled comfort.

Historic sea facing luxury hotel just across the road from the cruise terminal in Trieste. A perfect hotel for cruise guests arriving or departing from Trieste as it is 2-minute walk away. Spacious, clean and comfortable room. Excellent front office staff. Good buffet breakfast selection. Short walk to the waterfront, shops, restaurants in and around the vicinity of the hotel.

Hotel's Favorite
Stayed here after a last minute trip to Trieste and ended up staying an extra night we liked it so much. Turned up in Trieste with no reservation however the staff at the Savoia were extremely helpful offering a number of rooms and budgets. Parking was easy with no issues (valet parking EUR39 per day). The room for a city hotel was spacious and luxurious. Bed was queen size and very comfortable. Illy coffee machine although only once regular and one decafe capsule. The highlight was the balcony directly opposite the cruise ship terminal. Big balcony with table and chairs - perfect for enjoying breakfast and coffee - although the seagulls show no fear and are too quick to nab a croissant or two ! After checking out we took a boat to Muggia and it rained heavily. The staff allowed us to use the changing rooms in the gym to dry off and change. Although not the cheapest location in Trieste - I would recommend stretching if you can - you won't be disappointed.

You get what you pay for, and this hotel's service and ambience matched its price. We had a suite. Great location, especially if you are cruising from Trieste, since you can walk across the street to the terminal. Therefore, we recommend this hotel.

We were in Trieste to visit my daughter, who is working there, and got really lucky with this 4-star hotel, which has elements of 5-star service. The welcome and assistance from the reception staff, especially Luca, was very attentive and very professional. We arrived very early but they took our bags for us and as soon as the room was ready gave us a call. The hotel is very classily decorated and furnished; our room was wonderfully quiet with a fabulous view of the gulf. The breakfast was wonderful, with really experienced and welcoming staff there to help. It takes a lot for me to relax, but I really did in this excellent hotel.

The Hotel itself is the most beautiful building inside and out and located facing the sea and 2 minutes walk from the Piaza D'Unite. We were offered an upgrade on arrival and were given a room with a balcony at the front with the most breathtaking view over the Bay. Everything about this Hotel oozes class and comfort. Our room was huge and the bathroom was wonderful with slippers and robes and lovely toiletries. The Reception staff were outstanding and so helpful. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special and we can't wait to come back.

We loved our stay at Savoia Excelsior. The location on the water front is excellent when staying in Trieste and close to one of the squares. The service was excellent, rooms and beds very comfortable, breakfast was beyond our expectations. We would stay here again and can recommend it.

My wife had an excellent 3 days stay at the Savoia. The rooms were beautifully appointed, & we had a sea facing room with great views (including that of the massive cruise liners that berthed in front). The public areas are spacious with an old world elegance. Service is good, and I found the Concierge Giulio & Frederico particularly helpful. The location on the waterfront & being a minute walk away, from the main Piazza is outstanding. There are many fine dining places in close vicinity. Highly recommended

Charged me for two rooms wouldn’t cancel second room. Stated that they have a non refundable policy? We went for dinner in the hotel restaurant, mind you it was empty at the time and the maitre’d asked if we had a reservation, I said no she said they were full, I just laughed and walked away. I will never stay in another hotel owned by them again and only left one star because I couldn’t leave none.

Dear Mr. Raymond, We are sorry if your stay at our hotel did not meet your service and assistance expectations. With reference to your bookings, please take in consideration that they were made with a not-refundable rate through Expedia and pre-prepaying the online agency. In this case the hotel does not have the possibility to cancel or refund a reservation as the first agreement/contract concerning the stay is made with a third party (on line agency with the guest – the guest pays for the reservations to the online agency). As explained by the front office colleagues during the check in process, a booking cancellation has to be asked for this kind of events to the online agency directly. Regarding the restaurant, we regret that you had not the possibility to dine at the hotel. Please accept our apologies if our restaurant colleagues on shift did not properly clarify and explain the situation. However, we confirm that during that evening the restaurant was fully booked. Our colleagues on shift were waiting for two quite big groups and a good number of reserved tables. Should this happen we are usually more than willing to help our guests to book a table for another day or suggesting some valuable restaurant solutions in the city center. We hope you will consider again our hotel in the near future. We are aware (as you can see from our guests on line feedback) that we daily deliver a high quality standard of service. We are always more than pleased to make our guests feel as comfortable as possible during their stays. Please do not hesitate to call or write us should you need specific clarification. Sincerely, the Concierge

We had a 2 night stay at the the hotel in a very spacious & comfortable room. The elegance of the hotel is a strong feature with the reading room an added bonus. The hotel is in a terrific location overlooking Trieste harbour and in walking distance to many restaurants & trattoria’s. We walked kms & kms around the city & the hotel was terrific to come back to after a day exploring a historical city. Breakfast was quite substantial with plenty to choose from. Great stay!
