Starwood Hotels & Resorts is re-opening SE•STO on Arno, a new rooftop culinary experience at the iconic Westin Excelsior in Florence. Following a 3.3 million euro restoration, SE•STO on Arno overlooks the Arno River and offers views of the city, rooftops, churches and bell towers of Florence, Ponte Vecchio and the picturesque hills of Tuscany.
Set atop the Westin Excelsior Florence and made almost entirely of glass, SE•STO on Arno offers a dedicated bar for the Italian aperitivo ritual as well as a vibrant restaurant, both surrounded by two spacious terraces. SE•STO on Arno also features designs inspired by the '60s era with oversized windows, warm and colorful interiors enriched with wooden floors and ceilings, and a curved bar made of wood and alabaster, backlit with bronzed steel inserts. Formerly a 13th century mansion, the hotel combines eight centuries of Florentine history with contemporary accommodations with the full suite of Westin signature amenities and services.
