After booking the Excelsior years ago for clients, I had the privilege of staying there for 1 night last week. The hotel is only true 5* option in the area, and the service is impeccable. The staff is warm, and hospitable - but also laid back, which jives perfectly with its beach vibes. The beach club (lido) is one of the nicest in the area - complete with a call button to call waitstaff, morning snacks delivered to your umbrella, a safe box, cushions on lettini, hot tubs, showers - all you need (much more sophisticated than our club in Cattolica, about 25 min north). The beach side restaurant is also a little elevated, while still remaining casual… I really enjoyed the scorfano for lunch. The spa is beautiful, with a gorgeous pool that has expansive views over the Adriatic Sea. There is cryotherapy, and they offer a large variety of incredible massages (mine was with Patrizia, and it was amazing). My room was Superior Suite - very large, with a wonderful balcony and picture perfect view. When gazing left or right, all you could see was colorful umbrellas and the sea for miles. For dinner, we walked about 10 minutes to nearby Nostrano. Here we enjoyed a Michelin starred tasting menu, full of locally inspired dishes. Services wasn’t stuffy at all, and the staff was young and friendly. The Excelsior made our reservation, which was seamless.
