The hotel’s proximity to Santa Maria Novella Station also makes day-trips into the Tuscan countryside or other Italian cities straightforward.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


You don’t come to Florence for beaches – but NH Firenze gives you something arguably better for city summers: a stylish rooftop pool.

Rooftop pool
• Outdoor freshwater pool located on the roof terrace
• Typically open between 1 June and 30 September (weather and occupancy dependent)
• Sun loungers and parasols
• Free pool towels

It’s a rare feature for Florence and a superb way to cool off between museum visits or to unwind with a drink from the rooftop bar as the sun sets over the city.

Spa, sports & wellness


While NH Firenze is city-focused rather than resort-style, it still packs in useful facilities to keep you comfortable during your stay:

Gym & fitness
• Air-conditioned gym with cardio fitness equipment
• Usual opening hours around 07:00–22:00

Family-friendly touches
• Highchairs and kids’ menus available in several restaurants

Other facilities
• 24-hour reception and concierge service
• Luggage storage – handy for late flights or train departures
• Mobility scooter hire available (local charge; pre-booking recommended)
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel

There’s no full spa on site, but Florence’s historic streets, galleries and gardens offer more than enough to fill your days – this is a base built for exploring.
