Having lived a first life as an important horse station for stagecoach traffic between Vienna and Trieste over 300 years ago, the building now holds a design hotel—and not just any design hotel. The Triest’s historic cross vaults are home to halls, suites, and conference rooms with modern equipment. Sir Terrence Conran has successfully combined historic and modern architecture. A quiet interior patio and COLLIO, the Gault Millau award-winning restaurant, complete the hotel.
