Meetings Blog May 03, 2019
Ensuring that the location for your next meeting or event is of the required comfort and privacy can often involve significant planning. At NH Hotel Group we are more than aware of the important role that intimacy can play for get-togethers and take all the necessary steps to give our clients that personal touch, be it in a state-of-the-art city venue or a building that oozes history and tradition. Slip discreetly into our examples below and begin to imagine the possibilities for that perfect retreat… and we find some extraordinary spots in Italy and Colombia.
Built in 1890, the NH Collection Venezia Palazzo Barocci was originally home to Teatro Sant’Angelo, renowned for hosting operas by Vivaldi and Goldoni. The building completed a conservation and renovation process, which brought additional light to the original floors and frescoes; now preserved for generations to come. The hotel enjoys a prime location in the city, overlooking the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal. Indeed, step directly from the hotel’s private dock onto a waiting gondola or motorboat for an inconspicuous, as well as stylish, getaway.
Just imagine a small gathering in our meeting room, a unique space for up to 12 attendees with the gorgeous natural light of Venice and stylish venetian decor. Your attendees will feel absolutely spoiled by the exclusivity of the meeting room and the location. This hotel also features a charming garden, ideal for an open-air meeting, an intimate celebration or an elegant cocktail after sunset. Later on, your attendees will enjoy a pleasant rest in their rooms, some of them with spectacular views over the Grand Canal.
With its 13th century tower and marvelous frescos, the five-star NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa (thought to be the oldest hotel in Italy) epitomizes the extraordinary. Recently awarded its fifth star, the hotel’s history goes back a very long way, with the ‘Locanda Porta Rossa’ mentioned in a letter dating back to 1386. The Torrigiani family owned the building from 1559 and lived there for over two centuries, renting it to hoteliers in the first half of the 19th century. Feel the tradition in a design award-winning building, one that is surrounded by the unrivalled artistic beauties of Florence.
Apart from its unbeatable location, this hotel offers you various spaces to host your intimate meetings. You can select from two spaces, with capacity for 30 attendees, for small business meetings, but you can also choose the hotel’s lounge and foyers and take advantage of the distinguished atmosphere of this historic and impressive building, a winner at the 2010 European Design Awards. Wouldn’t your attendees be delighted with a private Italian wine tasting session in these exquisite spaces?
