Facilities

Pool & outdoors


This is an intimate, heritage city hotel without a pool or spa, designed for guests who plan to spend their days exploring Florence’s museums, churches, markets and riverside walks rather than lounging by the water. The Arno riverfront and many of the city’s prettiest piazzas are just a short stroll away, giving you plenty of options for al fresco relaxation in a quintessentially Florentine setting.

Spa, sports & wellness


NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa keeps facilities focused on comfort and convenience rather than resort-style amenities. You’ll find:

• Luggage storage – ideal for early arrivals or late departures
• Equipment hire from reception including fans and kettles (subject to availability)
