We stayed here for 2 nights following a cruise before heading over to Paris. We had read the reviews and were prepared for the possibly shabby decor. If you stay at this hotel you must weigh the good and the not so good. Think about what is important to you. The good: very large rooms, bowl of fruit in our... more

We stayed at the Westin Excelsior as part of our honeymoon. Knowing that it was our honeymoon, they upgraded our room and upon arrival, we had a bottle of champagne and strawberries waiting. That was a great touch. Our room had two balconies overlooking the Adriatic. We really enjoyed being able to relax in our room with the windows open... more

Any visit to a hotel begins with your experience at the front desk and the Westin Excelsior should be VERY PROUD that they have Claudia and Riccardo handling their front desk (ANYONE GOING TO THE HOTEL - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND ASK FOR EITHER OF THESE TWO - TELL THEM THE GUY FROM S.

We visited this hotel early May for 3 nights and despite the warm weather the airco was not switched on. The concierge told us this was due to the law, but the receptionist told us later that the managment didn't think it was necessary yet. A five star hotel without the possibillity of putting the airco on yourself?? Eating in... more

I really do not understand the good reviews about this property: luckly I'v booked just for two nights (last summer) at the Westin Excelsior and it was completely a bad experience. Where to start?
