  This hotel is your standard preppy business hotel. I came here on a business trip expecting Trieste was another lame city that I would hate. (I hate shopping.) But, when I came, I was surprised how modern and leisure the town was. Its beautiful horizon just corners the hotel, as its rushing cars, and many restaurants and bars surround it.
  
  This hotel is great for staying if you like food. The piazza is just a block away from it, with attractions such as creamy chocolate gelato, and delicious savory pizza. The place is crowded with tourists and families enjoying their time. Trieste is a 5/5 for me. Now that we have gotten the city and surrounding attractions out of the way, let's discuss the hotel itself.
  
  The staff is kind and friendly, always stooping up to your every need, and always welcoming. This is the only part that slightly annoys me. Sometimes the staff can be so accommodating, that it does become overwhelming. But, that does not distract me from a great hotel, with enormous rooms, quiet guests, and pleasant staff.

  The name does not lie. It is like some sort of renovated palace. There are huge rooms, high ceilings, chandeliers, marble floors and fancy furniture everywhere.
  
  It is in a great location in Trieste, right on the water front and 2 mins walk from the main square and the canal. The staff are really friendly and eager to you help with anything you ask. Breakfast was good and included in the room rate.
  
  If I was going back to Trieste I would definitely stay here again. It's a bit like going back in time, but not in a dated way. It's fully modern, but embraces the elegance of it's older attributes.
