Stats

My first trip to Italy and stayed at the Westin Excelsior in Florence for 2 nights in a penthouse with terrace room using points. It was very nice and the terrace was huge with a great river view.

Room

It even had an automatic awning that could come out at the first sign or rain, and wooden electric exterior blinds on the door to the terrace and the two windows which really shut out the morning light.The decor was first class, right down to padded cloth wallpaper and excellent wooden cabinets.

Service

I was surprised that this was the only hotel on our trip that didn't leave chocolates with the turn down service (I'm a chocoholic).The Westin was also the only hotel on our trip (which included the Sorrento Hilton, Marriott Grand Flora, Venice Danieli) that didn't give us a welcome bottle of champagne.

Dining

The dining room at the Westin has quite a limited choice in dinners and was seldom very busy - price may be a factor as it's pretty high compared to restarurants nearby. Seating in the restaurant was uncomfortable. Location very good ... close to everything, including the train station which is walking distance for many people.
