Breakfast was great and well worth the money. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Only negative is the shower as it was not smartly designed to keep the water only in the shower area and ran to the rest of the area of the bathroom.

Vacation in Trieste

I just spent an unforgettable stay at Hotel The Modernist in Trieste and I can only highly recommend it.
From the moment of arrival, you breathe in a mysterious and fascinating atmosphere, almost suspended in time. The hotel has a unique soul, with that modern retro elegance that makes you feel like you are in a period novel, but with all the contemporary comforts. The common areas and the rooms are taken care of down to the smallest detail, with a sophisticated design that invites you to relax and explore.
The service is discreet and efficient: the staff is always present without ever being intrusive, anticipating needs with professionalism and kindness. In particular, I want to thank Cesare, who is always available and ready to provide useful information, tips on Trieste, and solutions for every request. His courtesy and helpfulness made the stay even more pleasant.
The location is very central: it is in a perfect position to explore the city on foot. Piazza Unità, the Grand Canal, the historic cafes, and the waterfront are all easily reachable,
In short, The Modernist is a special hotel that combines character, comfort, and high-level service.

Gentile Angelo,
le Sue parole sono quelle che vorremmo ogni giorno ascoltare perchè descrivono il soggiorno che ogni giorno desideriamo offrire ai nostri Ospiti. Sapere che il The Modernist sia riuscito a trasmetterLe quell'atmosfera fatta di fascino, eleganza e autenticità ci riempie di orgoglio.
Ci piace pensare che ogni soggiorno sia una storia da vivere e da ricordare, e sapere che la Sua si sia intrecciata con le vie di Trieste, i suoi caffè storici e il suo mare è per noi motivo di grande emozione.
Un ringraziamento speciale per le bellissime parole dedicate a Cesare: sarà felice di sapere di aver contribuito, con la sua disponibilità e la sua passione, a rendere ancora più piacevole la Sua esperienza.
La aspettiamo per una prossima occasione in città con la certezza che le cose da scoprire siano ancora tantissime
Con gratitudine,

A character hotel in the heart of Trieste

Great hotel in a very central location. The staff is friendly and discreet. A historic building reinterpreted in modern terms, the result of a commendable renovation that enhances the existing structure while giving the current hotel a strongly modern and dynamic character. The area on the ground floor resembles a contemporary reinterpretation of literary cafés: a meeting point between different cultures, a place for exchange, knowledge, and relaxation. The only veil of sadness is reading that the building was a bequest from Gregorio Ananian for the benefit of poor students... The hotel is now an excellent hotel, but how was it possible that a structure donated for poor students is now a 4-star hotel?!

Gentile Sabina,
La ringraziamo per la Sua bella recensione e per aver apprezzato il carattere storico e contemporaneo del nostro Hotel.
Apprezziamo davvero tanto il parallelismo con i caffè letterari: è un'immagine che rispecchia l'atmosfera cosmopolita, rilassata e aperta allo scambio culturale che desideriamo offrire ai nostri Ospiti.
Comprendiamo anche la Sua curiosità riguardo alla storia dell'edificio. Gregorio Ananian è una figura di grande interesse nella Trieste dell'Ottocento: armeno di origine, ginecologo alla corte del Sultano di Costantinopoli, una volta giunto a Trieste, dedico' la sua vita alla beneficenza.
Per quanto riguarda il palazzo di Corso Italia, restaurato ad inizio del Novecento con l'apposizione della lapide a cui Lei fa riferimento, è importante precisare che la volontà del benefattore continua a essere rispettata. L'immobile, infatti, è stato storicamente concesso in locazione affinché le rendite fossero destinate, attraverso una fondazione filantropica, al sostegno di studenti e di persone bisognose. Ancora oggi l'edificio è locato con la medesima finalità, contribuendo così a mantenere vivo lo spirito dell'eredità di Ananian.
La ringraziamo ancora per aver condiviso le Sue riflessioni e speriamo di poterLa accogliere nuovamente nella bellissima Trieste
Cordiali saluti,
Alessandra Staff Hotel Modernist
