“My partner proposed to me in this hotel and we had the most wonderful time!
My partner and I stayed in the Porta Rossa hotel for 2 nights in room 107. As soon as we walked into the lobby we were struck by how beautiful the hotel is. It even smells incredible.
The hotel staff were so kind and accommodating, offering to help my partner with the engagement and leaving us little treats in our room.
Our room - 107 - is stunning, the main feature is the beautifully painted ceiling, it felt very romantic.
I am gluten free and I was incredibly pleased to find that the hotel offers gluten free alternatives at breakfast. Lovely bread, porridge, crackers and cakes. They were all delicious!
Our trip was a very important one for my partner and I and the Porta Rossa made it even more so. We’re so grateful to have stayed in the hotel and thank all the staff for their help and kindness.
We will definitely be visiting again.”

“If we are ever fortunate to be in Florence again, we are absolutely staying here! The NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa was everything I could have dreamed of. - Staff: Extremely friendly and professional. Smartly dressed, professional, calm, friendly demeanor, helped with directions and recommendations, and happy to talk about the hotel's history when asked. Let me practice my Italian quite patiently! - Ambiance: That classical old-world charm you are hoping for when traveling to Florence. This hotel is thought to the the oldest in Italy, because of its 13th century tower (a special suite, which was occupied when we were there, otherwise they would have given us a tour). Also won an award for best renovation, and I can see why! Seamlessly tying in old and new to provide a comfortable, beautiful, and historical experience. - Comfort: The room was spacious, bed super comfortable, ceilings, beautifully vaulted (might have been a unique feature of our room), linens clean and comfortable, beautiful armoire for storing my clothes. - Breakfast: BEST breakfast in all our Italian travels! Would stay here again just for the food! Beautiful dining area, but even more beautiful food presentation- delicate, yet extensive. I got my own teapot for my morning tea! With mix-ins like ginger, lemon, and mint. Just absolutely classy. Many options and very luxurious. - Location: maybe 6-8 minutes from the Duomo, and that Cathedral (and the baptistry), and equal distance from the river, maybe 10 minutes walk to Ponte Vecchio. Short walk anywhere, really- we allowed 12 minutes to get to L'Accademia (the David) and that was plenty. Part of Florence is the ease of walking, and this hotel was absolutely in the center of it all! Great part of town.Overall, our favorite location in Italy, we are so pleased we chose this hotel, and only wish our trip here was longer.”
