An important stop on a trip in Italy is the world wonderful Florence city.
Florence is home to countless artistic treasures, and with its pedestrian avenues and awesome building can be considered a treasure in its own right.
The Westin Excelsior Hotel is a ten minute walk from the central train station in Florence. Upon arrival, you can decide to take a taxi to help you with your bag. It’s a short trip, so don’t expect to pay more than 10 euros depending on how much bag you bring. If you bring a small weekend rolling suitcase, it is certainly easy enough to make the trip without a taxi. Florence is definitely a pedestrian city. You will want to walk most streets, since the distances are small and the ways are quite charming.
The Westin Excelsior Hotel is located in Piazza Ognissanti. It is located on the side of the Arno River containing most of the places you will want to see, other than the Pitti Palace and surrounding area. It is about 3 large blocks away from the Galleria degli Uffizi while walking along the river.
The lobby of the Westin Excelsior Hotel has marble flooring and looks quite luxurious. There is a concierge immediately to the left which will hold your key when you leave the hotel. They are also quite helpful for booking reservations at the various museums and galleries in Florence.
The room of the hotel are large for a double. There are two very comfortable beds. The satellite-TV had many channels in many international languages. Some rooms had a view of the Arno River. It will be incredible as you rise in the morning, and while watching the sunset as you get ready for a night out. The bathroom had marble flooring, a large tub with shower, a large countertop with mirror and a toilet with a bidet. The room are very clean and comfortable and the staff hotel are really friendly.
