A wealth of historical memories (seven centuries of Florentine history) is associated with the area on which stands the building that is now The Westin Excelsior.

Several celebrities stayed in Florence at the two properties owned nowadays by Starwood: the Romanov family, Emperor William II of Prussia, the Dukes of Windsor, the Shah of Persia with his wife Soraya, Princess Margaret of England, Elena of Romania, Queen Sofia of Greece, the King of Yugoslavia, the English Prime Minister W. Churchill and a number of world-wide famous artists such as Johann Strauss, Backhaus, Cortot, Rubinstein, Menuhin, Toscanini, Orson Welles, Charles Chaplin, Françoise Sagan, Emperor Hirohito, Henry Fonda, Queen Juliana of Holland, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Bruno Walter, Furtwangler, Beniamino Gigli, Maria Callas, Josephine Baker, Maurice Béjart, Carla Fracci, Marcello Mastroianni, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren.

In 1997 the Westin Excelsior has entered a new phase in its history when a restoration and renovation was completed. The renovation was a prime example of the Luxury Collection philosophy in such matters, which aims to highlight those historical and architectural features of its hotels that best enhance their affinity with the atmosphere and style of their host cities. A philosophy which considers the hotel as an integral part of the city, and a reference point in its artistic, cultural and business life.
