About us

The Excelsior Florence dominates the Piazza Ognissanti and is just a few moments away from the marvels of Florence - the renaissance churches of Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo and the Duomo, the exquisite Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Gallery and the finest masterpieces of Italian painting, picturesque Ponte Vecchio and its fabled jewelers and leatherwork boutiques. Light and colors inspired by the hills of Tuscany enhance the splendor of its interiors with terracotta, frescoes, marble and precious woods. Cosimo is the rooftop restaurant and bar of The Excelsior Florence which fuses Italian modern Tuscan kitchen and a stellar ambience for a cutting-edge culinary experience.
