About Hotel Excelsior Bari

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.

A beautiful hotel in the public areas. The bar a is amazing. The rooms are pretty plain, but large for Italian standards. Excellent food at breakfast. I would stay here again.
