We waited too late to book hotels at the beginning of the summer, and ended up staying in three separate locations over the course of a five day stay in Trieste—but the two nights we had at Residenza Le 6A, by far the best hotel of our trip, more than made up for it. The room and building beautifully preserved early 20th century details (a period elevator, wood parquetry, Viennese-style chairs at the breakfast table—the listing photos don’t do it justice!) while providing modern conveniences (renovated bathroom, full kitchenette, very clean). The manager, Gabrielle, is extremely friendly, clearly passionate about the city and its history, and incredibly helpful wrt storing belongings after checkout. Thoughtful touches such as James Joyce decorated biscotti and a voucher for two free coffees at Caffe San Marco were lovely and contributed to the hotel’s graceful & subdued evocation of Joyce and Svevo’s Mitteleuropa. We also didn’t realize this before booking, but another pleasant surprise was that the hotel appears to be shabbos friendly (very poignant given the building’s history). Loved our stay; thank you to Gabrielle and everyone else!
