My wife and I stayed at the St. Regis Florence (right across the street from the Westin) for our honeymoon 5 years ago. We LOVED it and they were incredibly attentive and the rooms looked like they belonged in a pristine museum. It was fantastic! This time around we were traveling with our 2 yr old daughter and wanted to... More

The hotel was lovely. Old world charms looking over a piazza. The rooms could use a touch up, that said, for Europe they are a good size. The staff were more than accomodating providing directions and taxis whenever we stepped out the door. You are a bit from the center of Florence, but it is less than a ten minute... More

The location of the hotel is perfect; a short walk from the railway station and only a few minutes stroll to the all the sights of the city. As one of the previous reviewers said the sixth floor bar and restatuarant is a real must, even if you're not staying at the hotel. However at 7 euros for a coke... More

Stayed at this hotel on short notice with a starhot rate from my sister. Great location, right on the Arno. Had a great room with a balcony and view of the Arno. Room service was great, and so was the new bar and restaurant on the top of the hotel. Very mod and refreshing in such a baroque setting. They... More

The Hotel is located just next to the Arno river ,very close to the station and walking distance from the Must visits of Florence. This allows the guest to stay in one of the best addresses in Florence without worrying about transportation etc...Loved the way the hotel brings the traditional and modern into the guest experience in a classy manner....

The rooms can be spacious and comfortable but they a old fashioned and some are run down. The river views are lovely, but on the low floors they are also... More

Expensive but so worth it! Very clean, excellent staff with amazing recommendations, easy walking location and a fab view of the Arno from river view rooms. We even used the parking for our rental car which was not available at lots of other hotels in the city. Would definitely stay here again! More

We spent 3 nights in Florence in the West In. What a place!!!! The Hotel is an old monastery and was entirely refurbished keeping the antique atmosphere. It is reaaly expensive but it is worth every single cent! The rooms are big and comfortable beautifully decorated. Sleep quality is awsome with black outs in the windows and a great bed!... More
