As a pampered
Excelsior Palace Treiste guest I was enjoying a 10 day stay at Star Hotels’
CEO’s historic property when I was led into Emperor Franz Joseph’s bathroom
replete with what I expect of modern plumbing.
I wondered if I was
really in 2017 or a 1911 time warp bathroom
In “reality” I was an
unknowing participant in Star Hotel’s CEO Elisabetta Fabri’s mission re
“tourism in the future.”
So far Starhotel’s
“Green” environmental sensitivity has enhanced Emperor Franz Joseph’s 1911
vintage palace, following the UN’s environmental edict for “consumption” limits
without imposition to guests who want the amenities of modern conveniences.
Let me attest
to the fact that I was a bit upset when my recent booking experience resulted
in a lag time re accepting my credit card payment, plus a misunderstanding re
payment applied in Dollars rather than Euros—all was cleared up when I arrived,
my stay at this hotel was more than I could have wanted and so much better than
I expected.
Treiste
Excelsior Palace has a few apartment suites available upon request only, and I was fortunate to be in one
of them—still in my memory is the *sunset, then a *night perfect balcony view, and *vistas
as far as the green mountains that are snow clad come the winter.
It was fun shopping
like I was a Treiste native at the within walking distance supermarket PAM,
where meat and produce are incredibly fresh and so inexpensive it was beyond
belief considering what I usually pay for less than fresh where I live in the
USA.
There I was dining
like Franz Joseph’s Queen for the hotel’s “complementary” full breakfast, then
enjoying a bag lunch to take with me while exploring the city, and then dinner
cooked by me to my liking with Excelsior Palace’s collection of Italian-made
perfection pots.
Travel is enriching and can be a safety
valve against a daily world chaotic.
What can you expect re value
accommodations at this 4* property?
According to Starhotel’s spokesperson
hotel amenities includes: water kettle in all rooms, except classic rooms,
Expresso machine in all rooms (not a regular coffee maker), and the dedicated Fitness
facility available to all guests.
If you find your way to this Starhotel’s
Treiste historic property expect tranquility and “old world” almost perfect
mesh with modern convenience, a plus plus value for money spent, definitely a
5* stay despite being listed as a 4* hotel.
