Europalace Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Set in a restored 1920 Art Nouveau landmark, the Europalace Hotel, BW Signature Collection, Monfalcone, Italy, was built by the Cosulich shipping family as lodgings for shipyard workers and is now an elegant hotel in a quiet area near the centre of the town. Carefully restored under the fine-arts authority, its 40 rooms blend period character with modern comforts, and two halls handle events, with the centre and the main roads close by. The grand old building is a real draw in itself. A garden, two event halls and quiet rooms round out the stay in the calm town centre, with the shipyard waterfront close by. Monfalcone's shipyards and the Adriatic coast lie close at hand, the Roman mosaics and ancient basilica of Aquileia, a UNESCO site, rise a short drive west, and the island resort of Grado and the grand seafront cafes of Trieste sit along the coast. Wild Carso uplands and the Slovenian border climb just inland. CIR Code: BD-41761 CIN Code: IT031012A1RV8S72Y7
