Neighboring the famous Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace, The Westin Excelsior, Florence combines luxurious modern accommodations with seven centuries of Florentine history. The Westin Excelsior's presence on Piazza Ognissanti is impressive, featuring newly refurbished guest rooms, a professional staff dedicated to impeccable service, and a state-of-the-art business center. Sitting high on the banks of the Arno River, the hotel also offers spectacular views of the panoramic Tuscan countryside, the colored terracotta rooftops and the landmarks of Florence. These are just a few of the reasons it was recently named to Conde Nast Traveler's 2004 and 2005 Gold Lists. The building itself is a magnificent 15th century palace, once home to a noble Florentine family.
