For over a century, Roma Hotel has welcomed its guests in the famous Theresian Quarter, in the heart of Trieste, where cultural and business activities still abound today in the relaxed neoclassic atmosphere of an urban development fostered by Empress Maria Theresa. The elegant nineteenth century hotel building is located near the railway station and the central business district, with its monuments and cosmopolitan trades, in the street named after Carlo Ghega, the renowned engineer who built the railroad between Trieste and Vienna. The convenient location, the warm hospitality and the fact that it stays open all year round make the Hotel the ideal place both for business travellers and for those who choose the city of famous Italian writers Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba for their vacation.
