“The Excelsior has Florence at its feet, with unique rooftop dining that makes climbing the Duomo feel optional; inside, high-end furnishings meet modern tech in spacious rooms. Its location places guests within walking distance of major sights, but the tailored local experiences offered by the concierge are what truly elevate a stay here.
