Victoria

Housed in the former home of James Joyce, the superb Victoria dedicates a suite to the Ulysses author and legend in Trieste. The 19th Century structure is beautifully maintained and has been brought up-to-date with modern amenities. WiFi is available throughout, and the wellness centre (sauna, Turkish bath, hot tub, chromotherapy shower) will delight most. There's marble all over the place, four-poster beds and a world class breakfast is the icing on the cake.
