## About the hotel
The Excelsior occupies a landmark position on Piazza Ognissanti on the banks of the Arno, formed in 1927 from the merger of two older hotels under the Kraft family and later absorbed into the CIGA group. Following a renovation completed in 2025, it now operates as part of Marriott's Luxury Collection with 171 rooms and suites, many with balconies or terraces over the river. Its scale and century long history place it among Florence's grande dame hotels, distinct from the city's smaller boutique addresses.
