NH Hotel Group is celebrating the achievement of a fifth star for two of its NH Collection properties, in the cities of Milan and Florence. NH Collection Milano President and NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa have both been awarded the highest star rating after investment in the rooms and public spaces along with a firm commitment to the highest quality local cuisine. With these two new 5-star hotels, the Group's NH Collection brand now has 36 hotels with this distinguished ranking.

The Company remains committed to offering an unmatched hotel experience thanks to the strategic location of its hotels, extraordinary service, cutting-edge technology and authentic cuisine of the highest quality. It is precisely this last aspect that NH Hotel Group has relied on to offer even more in two hotels that already provided excellent service.

With this in mind, NH Collection Milano President has launched a genuinely local concept within Bar Le Colonne: Panhini. Popular in the bars of Milan during the seventies and the eighties, this Italian sandwich now has its own place in the hotel, offering a wide selection of sandwiches, including signature paninis created by three of the Company's Michelin-starred chefs; Paco Roncero (2*), Óscar Velasco (2*) and Chris Naylor (1*).

In Florence, NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa, one of Italy's oldest hotels, has combined forces with Tuscan institution Savini Tartufi, a family whose passion for truffles has been passed on from generation to generation, to create the Savini Tartufi Truffle Restaurant. With this new opening, the hotel now offers a gastronomic experience with a distinctly local flavour to its guests, locals and visitors to the city.

“Obtaining the fifth star in our hotels NH Collection Milano President and NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa, in Milan and Florence, respectively, is the result of the Company's commitment to offer an extraordinary hotel experience that goes beyond our guests' expectations. We want to exceed them and surprise our guests every time they come back to our hotels”, says Hugo Rovira, Managing Director Southern Europe and USA of NH Hotel Group.

NH Hotel Group currently operates 74 NH Collection hotels located in 49 cities in 15 countries and plans to open 9 more establishments by 2020.   With these two new 5-star hotels, the Group's NH Collection brand now has 36 hotels distinguished with the top category.

NH Collection Milano President and NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa join three other 5-star hotels that the Company already has in Italy: NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, NH Collection Palazzo Cinquecento and NH Collection Taormina.

“We will continue to review our value proposal with the aim to keep outperforming ourselves so that we provide all travellers, whether for business or leisure, with hotels of the highest quality” states Rufino Pérez, Chief Operations Officer and Global Transformation Leader of NH Hotel Group.
