The Excelsior, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Florence (Florence, Tuscany) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"If it’s the classic Florentine experience you’re after, you need look no further: this is the definitive downtown Florence grand hotel, a century-old palace on the banks of the Arno, the sort of place where the Presidential Suite is used by actual presidents. The Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery are a stone’s throw away, and the views, some taking in the river and the rooftops of the city, are fine enough that you might be able to subsidize your travels with a sideline in postcard photography. Design studio Moinard – Bétaille has taken inspiration from the historic setting to add a classical flourish to the guest rooms and suites, which blend contemporary details with chandeliers, carved headboards, and antique-style furnishings, whilst Martin Brudnizki has brought his eclectic style to the rooftop restaurant and bar Cosimo, which serves aperitivos and modern Tuscan cuisine with a spectacular city view." - Tablet Hotels
