About the Hotel

7.8 Average Rating

The Excelsior occupies one of Florence's most coveted addresses — Piazza Ognissanti, right on the banks of the Arno. The building itself carries the weight of history with genuine elegance, and the rooms match that ambiance without feeling frozen in time. Many look directly out over the river toward the Oltrarno district, a view that shifts from golden morning light to the warm glow of the city at dusk. Inside, the details hold up to scrutiny: Carrara marble bathrooms, properly considered furniture, and beds that actually deliver on the promise of a good night's sleep. The 32-inch plasma screens and digital jukeboxes are a thoughtful nod to guests who want comfort alongside the classical surroundings. Breakfast in the Sala Caminetto sets a strong tone for the day — a generous buffet served in a room that feels like it was designed for exactly this kind of unhurried morning ritual. When evening arrives, the hotel's restaurant steps up with Mediterranean cooking from an executive chef who treats the cuisine seriously rather than as a hotel formality. Between meals, the terraces offer a perfectly good reason to sit still for a while with a drink and watch Florence go about its business. The location rewards those who want to actually explore the city on foot. Ponte Vecchio is a short walk along the river, Santa Maria Novella train station is barely five minutes away, and the surrounding streets are lined with some of the city's best restaurants and boutiques. For those wanting spa time, treatments are available at a partner property directly across the piazza — a convenient arrangement that keeps the main building focused on what it does best.
