Das Triest

Das Triest Review

An ultrasleek ocean-liner look is Sir Terrence Conran's nod to the past of this former postal-coach station on the route between Vienna and the port city of Trieste. The original cross vaulting remains in the lounges and some suites, but otherwise the interior and furnishings are what you'd expect from Conran. In the rooms, beige-on-beige fabrics are offset by glowing pine wall-size headboards. Blue carpeting and honey-hue woods radiate elegance and comfort, and even the doorknobs feel good to the touch. The hotel also allures with an excellent Austro-Italian restaurant, Collio. Das Triest may be a bit off the beaten track, but is still within easy walking distance of the city center.
