Map & location
Florence City, Florence, Italy
NH Firenze places you just outside the busiest tourist streets, in a leafy district close to the River Arno and Piazza Vittorio Veneto. It’s an easy walk or quick tram ride into the historic centre, so you can spend your days admiring Renaissance masterpieces and evenings dining along the river without feeling hemmed in by crowds.
Florence’s skyline of domes and bell towers is never far away: the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Accademia Gallery and Boboli Gardens are all comfortably reachable on foot for keen walkers, or via frequent local buses and trams from the nearby stops. The hotel’s proximity to Santa Maria Novella Station also makes day-trips into the Tuscan countryside or other Italian cities straightforward.
- Approx. transfer time from airport journey times vary by arrival airport – around 20–30 minutes from Florence Airport (FLR) or about 1 hour 15 minutes from Pisa (PSA), depending on traffic and route.
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.
