The Westin is an absolutely beautiful hotel, located right on the banks of the Arno and within walking distance of all the main sights in Florence. What really set this stay apart for us was the incredible staff throughout the hotel. We had reservations and tours set up that got canceled due to the COVID situation. Matteo, the concierge, was unbelievably helpful in helping setting us up with new restaurant reservations and getting us entry to museums. The rooms are beautiful, and while not normally my style, the entire hotel was gorgeous. The rooftop bar and restaurant have stunning views over the city. We will definitely come back!

We had a fantastic time here; the place is ideal, with all of the major attractions within a few minutes' walk; and the staff are truly amazing; they arranged a driver for us to take us on a Chianti mini-tour with just a few hours' notice, as well as booking museums and restaurants for us. Expect no swimming pools, spas, or dining, but everything else is great, and we would highly recommend,

Westin Excelsior - beautiful hotel, rooftop bar was great but had a lovely view of the aide of the river where people were doing god-knows-what. (Think graffiti and people wandering aimlessly) Despite the view the staff was tremendous and made every attempt to make us comfortable.

We came in October for 3 nights and could not have had a better welcome. The staff was so professional and friendly at the same time. Breakfast was perfect. Our room with the terrace on the Arno was fantastic. The location is perfect for ease of arrival, place on the river and central location for visits.

Our long weekend stay at Westin was perfect. From the initial booking, to check-in, to our stay and check out, everything was above our expectation. Every staff was extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Never too much trouble and they go extra mile to help and accommodate. The hotel is very clean and definitely well prepared to the new Covid rules with temperature scan by the front door and hand sanitizer everywhere. We felt very safe staying there. Breakfast was really delicious and generous in portion. The view from the roof top Terrance restaurant and our room balcony was stunning!
