The Westin Excelsior Florence Elegance, style and unforgettable rooftop views
Elegance in Florence really doesn?t more proudly along the Arno River than the formidable duo that is the Westin Excelsior Florence and her sister property the St Regis. Many of the luxurious rooms and suites here overlook the river of course and the Oltrarno area, with the famed Ponte Vecchio just 900 metres away and the Duomo a short 15 minute walk. With 171 guest rooms and suites, the gourmet Se.Sto on Arno restaurant and bar, and 360 degree rooftop views of the city, this Florence institution is 5 star style at its very best.
Location
Located in Piazza Ognissanti along the Arno River, the Westin is perfectly located with Florence at its doorstep but without the crowds of the Duomo area. All of the major attractions including the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery and Pontevecchio can be reached easily within a 10-15 minute walk. Florence airport is a 25 minute drive and the central train station, Santa Maria Novella is 5 minutes away by car or 10 by foot.
Style & Ambiance
The Westin Excelsior is housed within a stunning renaissance palace. While recent upgrades have given it a chic and contemporary touch, this historic period style can still be felt throughout. In fact, it?s a perfect blend of style and design where each of the (171) guest rooms and suites are appointed in period style with a touch of Florentine design flair.
The mix of fabrics, colour, wooden panels and flooring in the rooms offer a warmth that is not always guaranteed in big hotels. Rooms and suites are set...
