PB hotel design editorial

Among the oldest hotels in continuous operation anywhere in Europe, the building at Via Porta Rossa 19 in Florence has been receiving guests since at least 1386 — a medieval tower house converted into lodgings during the height of the Florentine Republic, when this street functioned as one of the city's main commercial arteries. NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa inhabits that same structure today, a five-storey palazzo whose loggia facade, visible in the images with its rendered arches, pietra serena surrounds, and stained-glass roundels bearing the hotel's monogram, carries centuries of Florentine civic architecture in its bones. The renovation, which brought the property into the NH Collection portfolio, took a quietly confident approach to the tension between medieval fabric and contemporary comfort. The lobby and café retain their original grey-and-white diamond-pattern marble floors, barrel-vaulted plasterwork, and arched stained-glass windows, furnished with dark walnut case pieces, tufted banquettes in sage green, and globe pendant lights on brass stems. Against all of this historical density, the 79 guestrooms were stripped back to near-white plaster walls, oak parquet, and grey-framed panelling, with crimson velvet chairs providing the single note of saturated color — a deliberate echo of the red door that gave the street, and the hotel, its name. Slamp chandeliers in blown white resin add one contemporary flourish to ceilings that in other rooms still carry their original cornice mouldings.

"Hotel and staff are absolutely lovely. Hotel is beautiful & historic & centrally located. Rooms are very clean. There is a bit of street noise but we could sleep nonetheless. This was recommended by one of our friends & recommend highly to others."

"We had a wonderful stay at the NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa. The location is excellent — perfectly situated for exploring Florence on foot while still feeling peaceful and elegant. The concierge service was especially outstanding. Antoinette was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and welcoming throughout our stay, and truly made the experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast each morning was fantastic, with a great selection and excellent service. A special thank you to Giani, Aurelio, and Ana, who all did a wonderful job and made every morning feel warm and welcoming. Overall, a beautiful hotel with excellent hospitality, wonderful staff, and a perfect location in Florence. We would happily stay again."

"The Hotel Porta Rossa is a beautiful place -- I spent a wonderful four days there in April/May and would highly recommend it. It's located in the heart of Florence, yet the palazzo is calm and peaceful inside. The hotel has a long and fascinating history, and combines some beautiful architectural features (in the lobby area, for example) with very modern amenities (comfortable beds, well-equipped bathrooms, excellent heating/air-conditioning). The breakfast buffet was fantastic. And the staff all throughout the hotel were very kind and helpful. All in all, a fantastic stay. Thank you!"

"My go to hotel in Florence. Why? Because I can't imagine any other place I would want to stay at. The location is in walking distance of anything and everything. The rooms are spectacular with great amenities. Breakfast - bountiful selections. But the real reason is the staff. Dining room staff: Gianni, Anna, Aurelio, Christina. They remember what I like and get it for me as soon as I arrive. Concierge/reception. Any request taken care of with a smile: Erika, Antoinetta. But the real reason I return is for the hospitality offered by Nadine. This is truly my home away from home. My only request, as a lover of flowers, is that they upgrade their selection to match their 5 star category."
