This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Florence, within walking distance of major attractions like the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria. It beautifully preserves the elegance of its historic building, with interior decor that blends classic and modern styles. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff are warm, friendly, and provide excellent service. The breakfast spread is diverse and delicious, offering both traditional Italian delights and international options. Overall, it's a perfect place to stay, allowing guests to enjoy modern conveniences while experiencing the historical charm of Florence. Highly recommended!

It’s a great hotel. Of course we were upgraded ($$$) to one of the riverfront balcony penthouses , which are fit for a king. There is not a better room in Florence, if that’s what you seeking. A highlight of the hotel is location, the rooftop bar and restaurant are unique and beautiful. we were shown the other king rooms and they were nice.
Service and all respects in the hotel is extremely professional and friendly. The lobby is beautiful and relaxing. The location is wonderful. The food is average, nothing better than that. Highly recommended Hotel.

Our stay in Florence was truly unforgettable, largely thanks to Constanza at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with warmth and grace that instantly made us feel at home. Constanza’s attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness stood out every single day. She anticipated our needs before we even asked and handled everything with such care and compassion—it’s rare to meet someone who makes hospitality feel so personal and sincere.

We also want to thank Manager Petra, whose thoughtful leadership and empathy made our experience even more special, and the tall gentleman at the concierge desk, who provided excellent recommendations and gracious assistance throughout our stay.

The hotel’s location is simply the best—right in the heart of Florence, just steps away from the city’s most beautiful landmarks. The combination of outstanding service, comfort, and location made this one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

5 stars all around!
from the first day I emailed the hotel about making sure both my rooms were adjoining, the staff was on the ball.
even after getting my Reward upgrade they still made sure the rooms were adjoining.
We walked from the train station to the hotel and the staff saw us coming down the street with luggage, they did not walk, they ran to us to help. It was an Unbelievable welcoming and it did not stop then.... (Tip Get a cab the walk its not as easy as it looks)
The front desk staff was incredible, they even walked us to the room. The room was spotless with and endless amount of amenities including a gift of lemon biscotti...
We unfortunately only stayed one night as we are now heading to Rome. The one night stay did not make a difference. We were treated like Royalty.
Hallways are so wide
rooms are beautiful and spacious
staff is 5 star
Location is perfect
View is top notch

I want to sincerely thank Every one of the staff for making my family feel special on our first trip to Florence

I celebrated my birthday at this rooftop, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff were so kind and professional, and they even surprised us, which made the day extra special. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly educated and well-mannered team — 1000% yes from me! Can’t wait to come back.
03.07.2025 Amber
Beautiful hotel on the river! The age and beauty of the furnishings alone were worth the stay, but the view from our balcony was gorgeous! Roof top bar offered amazing views and excellent craft cocktails. Location was perfect for walking to all restaurants and historic sites. We never had to take a taxi anywhere. Staff was super friendly and service was top notch. They offered us an extremely romantic stay for our 20th anniversary.

During my stay, the hotel was undergoing a large-scale renovation. Half of the entrance was sealed, the lobby became smaller, and the rooftop restaurant with a view was closed. It looks like this project will take more than a year to complete.
09.11.2024 Jeffrey
Was lucky enough to get a chance to stay at this historical property because of a work event we were organizing in Italy.

Due to my platinum status, I was upgraded to an Arno view room, and I must say everything about it was stunning. The room, the view and the little touches that the team has put into making our stay memorable.

Location wise it's perfect, since it's located in the middle of town. You can easily take a stroll around Florence, and there were lots of restaurants nearby. We had a few drinks at the bar and the service team were very friendly and efficient.

Breakfast was good as well, they had a small section of Asian food, which is quite rare in Europe.

All in all, it's a worth it place to stay if you could afford it. One of the better hotels in Florence.

Truly a wonderful experience. One of the best locations and offerings Florence has. My wife and I visited while on our honeymoon for one night. Carolina at the front desk helped us with a breathtaking room overlooking the river. You could tell she enjoys her job and cares about how her guests enjoy the experience. Also Iacopo with concierge helped us plan an entire itinerary. He could tell my wife was concerned about limited time and helped with this without her even asking. Greatly appreciate the team at Westin!
