Best Marriott International Hotels in Florence

The St. Regis Florence overlooks the Arno River near central Florence's shops, restaurants and attractions. Travelers describe the property's location as "perfect" thanks to its proximity to top attractions like the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo. And, like other St. Regis outposts, The St. Regis Florence specializes in a variety of top-notch services, including private attraction tours with Bentley chauffeurs and access to tours of private art collections. When you've worked up an appetite, head to the hotel's Winter Garden by Caino, an upscale dining venue that has earned a Michelin star for its innovative Italian dishes. Former diners said the restaurant's setting was just as impressive as its food and service. You'll also find a wine cellar with more than 300 local and international wines on-site. After satiating your hunger and thirst, retire to your Italian-inspired digs, which feature Florentine, Medici and Renaissance details like frescoes and coffered ceilings. Upgrade to a Deluxe Double Arno River Guest room or higher for access to additional amenities like 24-hour butler service, Bose sound systems and separate showers and bathtubs.

What was once the house of Carolina Bonaparte, the sister of Napoleon, is now The Westin Excelsior, Florence. This Westin outpost, lavishly decorated in the Florentine style of the Renaissance period, has 171 guest rooms and suites, a 24-hour fitness center, three restaurants, a bar and elegant meeting spaces. Services like laundry and valet parking can also be provided for an additional fee. All accommodations have the brand's signature Heavenly beds and bath products, plus flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Upgraded rooms and suites boast hardwood floors, private balconies or terraces, outdoor Jacuzzis and views of the Arno River. Guests praise the property's exceptional staff and prime Florence location near numerous shops, restaurants and attractions. However, several recent travelers noted that the hotel's central location meant the area can be noisy. And while some suggested visiting the rooftop SE·STO on Arno for the restaurant's Mediterranean cuisine and wraparound views, others were frustrated with the eatery's limited table availability. To avoid this issue, consider reserving a table in advance. Because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Rewards members can earn and use points here.
