In RDKit's PandasTools there is the funktion SaveXlsxFromFrame.

http://www.rdkit.org/Python_Docs/rdkit.Chem.PandasTools-module.html#SaveXlsxFromFrame

XlsxWriter must be installed.

import pandas as pd
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import PandasTools

smiles = ['c1ccccc1', 'c1ccccc1O', 'c1cc(O)ccc1O']
df = pd.DataFrame({'ID':['Benzene', 'Phenol', 'Hydroquinone'], 'SMILES':smiles})

df['Mol Image'] = [Chem.MolFromSmiles(s) for s in df['SMILES']]

PandasTools.SaveXlsxFromFrame(df, 'test.xlsx', molCol='Mol Image')
