Orient Express La Minerva

Orient Express La Minerva is a 17th-century palazzo hotel set on the calm Piazza della Minerva, a short walk from the Pantheon and the lanes of historic Rome. The setting is unmistakably Roman, with columns, sculpture details and a lobby that leans into Art Deco while respecting the building’s classical bones, shaped by designer Hugo Toro. Rooms and suites follow the same line: matte, tactile finishes, contemporary accents and a sense of order that suits city days and late returns. Dining centres on a Mediterranean rooftop restaurant and bar seven floors above the square, laid out for long views across domes and rooftops, while the lobby bar works well for coffee, lunch or an unhurried aperitivo. For downtime, the hotel highlights an in-suite spa concept with face and body treatments using Furtuna Skin products.
