The Westin Excelsior

Fodor's Review:

The Excelsior's imposing, Moorish-style building with its green cupolas and inner courtyard comes complete with potted lemon trees and fountains; the feel is decidedly southern Mediterranean. No longer a haunt of the noble and famous of the dolce vita days (except during the Biennale), the hotel nonetheless offers the same panache, luxury, and space as ever. Rooms are tastefully modern, done in bright colors, and face either the inner garden or the beach below. A shuttle boat between the hotel and San Zaccaria runs every half hour.
