Hotels Own Introduction
a palace of timeless elegance in the heart of rome
Nestled in the quiet embrace of Piazza della Minerva, this 17th-century palace invites you to walk in the footsteps of globetrotters and nobility who once graced its storied halls. With its Roman columns, sculptures, and refined design, Orient Express La Minerva stands as a jewel among Rome’s architectural wonders — a place where history and artistry converge in perfect harmony.
art deco grace meets roman soul
Each room and suite at La Minerva reflects the essence of Italian art de vivre, elevated by the signature savoir-faire of Orient Express. The design blends Art Deco influences with timeless Roman architecture, defined by raw, matte finishes and contemporary details that create a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere.
culinary pleasures above the eternal city
From sunrise to sunset, dining at La Minerva is an experience of refined indulgence. Savor Mediterranean flavors at our rooftop restaurant and bar, seven stories above Piazza della Minerva, where panoramic views stretch across Rome’s historic skyline. Or enjoy a leisurely lunch or espresso at La Minerva Bar, our elegant lobby restaurant — a gathering place for both travelers and locals alike.
a sanctuary of serenity and renewal
Retreat to the privacy of your en-suite spa and surrender to stillness. Each treatment is a bespoke ritual of rejuvenation, blending expert techniques with a curated selection of Italian and French beauty products. Here, time slows — and tranquility takes hold.
