During my stay, the hotel was undergoing a large-scale renovation. Half of the entrance was sealed, the lobby became smaller, and the rooftop restaurant with a view was closed. It looks like this project will take more than a year to complete.

The location is strategic, the scenery is pleasant, and travel is convenient; the breakfast is delicious and rich, and the service at the front desk and restaurant is warm and thoughtful.

The service was extremely poor. The fire alarm rang at 5 o'clock in the morning and lasted until nearly 8 o'clock. The hotel did not explain or apologize. There are a lot of people at breakfast, and there is almost no service. The house is super old. The penthouse suite has a good view from the terrace, but nothing else. I feel that the overall hotels in Italy are very poor. The price is still very expensive.

It was wonderful to return to this stunning hotel, ideally set on the banks of the river Arno, just a 10 minute stroll from the Ponte Vecchio. The hotel is quiet, beautiful and the epitome of 5 star. The beds are sumptuous. We opted for a premium guest room with an Arno view, and felt it was definitely worth the extra cost. My only criticism is that the rooms lack a coffee machine, something that’s quite important to me. Unfortunately the roof top bar was closed on this visit but we have enjoyed that on a previous stay at the hotel. It did however give us the opportunity to try the elegant lobby bar. The gym in the basement has everything you need, and feels reasonably airy for a hotel gym. We would definitely return in the future!

This is the premiere hotel in Florence. Better than any other! Great location, great rooms, fantastic service and staff. Over the past 18 years I have stayed close to 50 times and it never disappoints. Particularly fantastic are the Concierges and the Doormen. Always attentive and extremely welcoming, accomodating. Being in Florence is always Magical and the Excelsior just makes it better! Can’t wait to get back!
