Classic Renaissance opulence
Centrally located for all the sights of Florence, the Westin Excelsior is within a few yards of the famous Ponte Vecchio, the River Arno, Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace.
Deservedly one of the luxury hotels consistently featured on the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List since 2006, the Westin Excelsior Hotel is one of the grandest hotels in Florence. The lobby is filled with antique treasures in an opulent setting, and staff are dedicated to meeting guests’ every need and request. Service is impeccable and the multi-lingual concierge will make your stay even smoother with his tips and advice, as well as organizing transport, restaurant reservations and tours of the surrounding area.
The guest rooms and public lounges of this luxury hotel are all furnished with exquisite antiques to satisfy the most discerning taste. Rooms have city or river views and are equipped with the latest TV entertainment and wireless internet connections. The signature ‘Heavenly Beds’ ensure the best sleep possible.
Other hotel amenities include the Westin Workout room, which is pleasantly laid out to resemble a home gym rather than a shop-like display of identical machines in rows. Jogging maps of Florence are also available from the concierge. Business guests are welcomed, and the well-equipped business centre will provide all the services they may require.
Start the evening in the relaxed atmosphere of the marble-floored ORVM bar whilst anticipating dinner in the hotel restaurant. Choose to dine inside or on the outdoor terrace, to make the most of the magical views of Florence. Under the capable direction of Executive Chef, Giuseppe Dalla Rosa, the Mediterranean cuisine will satisfy the most discerning palate.
Visitors who are looking for a luxury hotel in Florence, will find the Westin Excelsior will not disappoint. It is well positioned in the heart of the city and lives up to its five-star luxury hotel award in every possible way.
