A stylish and characterful hotel in a 19th century building, which was previously flats - one of which (on the 3rd floor) was the home of the famous writer James Joyce. The hotel celebrates its literary heritage, with a selection of books in each room, and also a comfortable and tastefully furnished reading room. Unlike some hotels which purport to have libraries, this is the real thing - it is well stocked with high brow literature by or about Joyce and other famous writers from Trieste, in English and Italian.
