Hotel Excelsior Bari in Bari, open June–October.
Hotel Excelsior Bari rises along the Adriatic waterfront in Bari's historic center, offering commanding views across the Mediterranean Sea from its early 20th-century facade.
Located on Via G.
Petroni, the hotel commands a striking position where Baroque architecture meets azure waters, with the Old Town's limestone buildings cascading toward the harbor just steps away.
The property's elevated position on the seafront provides natural drama for ceremonies and receptions alike.
Very good hotel location — right next to Bari Centrale, with two supermarkets nearby. The staff are polite and helpful. The breakfast is varied and tasty. The dinner at the on-site restaurant is delicious, and the local bar has a nice vibe. I liked! Thank you!
