Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A grand riverfront five-star on Piazza Ognissanti (the former Westin Excelsior), sister square to The St. Regis, with classic interiors and Arno views. It suits travellers wanting Luxury Collection scale and service on the river. It welcomes one dog up to 18 kg with a proper pet welcome kit, though pets are barred from public and dining areas and cannot be left unattended.
