For my (business) stay in Florence, I opted to stay at both the Westin and St Regis (both hotels are located around the same square). The Starwood hotels are always my first choice as a SPG platinum member, and I believe they are the most luxurious hotels in town (besides the Four Seasons). Let me introduce myself as a seasoned...

We stayed 4 nights to celebrate a special anniversary and treated ourselves to a room with river view. It was spectacular. The room was quiet and the bed was so comfortable we slept a straight ten hours on the second night! Great location, a short walk to the main area so we were able to pop back and have a... More

I only had one night at the Westin Excelsior, I wish I could have had more. I fell in love with this hotel. I am just a lowly SPG Gold, a solo woman staying on points. Yet, I was treated with a professionalism that is lacking at many high-end hotels these days. Since I had a early evening train the... More

The Westin in Florence is located right next to the Arno river. It is a beautiful hotel. It is easy to walk from the hotel to any of the major sites and the concierge is open 24 hours! Jacobo at the concierge desk was very helpful and arranged a private car to take us through Tuscany. The restaurant on the... More

Beautiful hotel, comfortable room, convenient location, delicious food, accommodating service -- who could ask for anything more? We loved staying at this elegant hotel. Our room and all the common areas of the hotel were decorated tastefully. Our room was well sized and well appointed for a standard room and included a large, comfortable bed, a desk, desk chair, and... More

We stayed one night here before heading to Chianti, but wished we stayed more. We didn't have a view, but the room had high ceilings and nice drapes and automatic window coverings on a switch to make the room dark. The room was really big for Europe. We loved the layout. My only two complaints are the shower didn't get... More

We stayed at the Westin Excelsior Florence at the end of March, over Easter Weekend. A very busy time to be in Florence, this hotel seemed to take it all in stride. This is a beautiful, unique property. Originally a monastery, it became a hotel a century ago. Everything about the hotel speaks of authentic, charming, Italian Palazzo elegance. Rooms:... More

We stayed 4 nights and it was wonderful. Walking distance to the train station and the center of Firenze. Greatest breakfast in town. Wonderful balcony to watch "Notte Bianche" performances in the piazza below.

We spent three nights here in a deluxe river view room. We had a beautiful room on the fourth floor with two full length windows and small balconies to step out onto and enjoy the river views. The whole hotel had real charm from the room décor to the public spaces and even the housekeeping service which was faultless. As... More
