Where Renaissance Rome gathers around an ancient square, and the rooftop opens onto the Eternal City.
A historic Renaissance palazzo on Piazza della Minerva, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the dome of the Pantheon, and a warm, discreet welcome that has graced travellers to Rome for two centuries.
The Grand Hotel de la Minerve, steps from the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, is the ideal address for a stay in the heart of the Eternal City. Its name recalls the ancient temple of Minerva that once stood upon this very square.
Five hundred rooms and suites across eight floors of Renaissance and modern architecture. Our front-desk manager Giorgio and his daughter Giulia attend to every guest with the same warmth that has welcomed travellers to this house for over two centuries.
The hotel's large windows, balconies, and terraces allow light to enlighten the interior areas and enhance the colours, the materials, and the plasticity. The sky, the sun, the sea, and nature, are the treasures that are offered to our guests from every room of the building.
From the rooftop terrace, the eye travels across the great dome of the Pantheon to the bell towers and ochre rooftops of the centro storico. At dusk, the colours of Rome change every fifteen minutes.

Inside, the palazzo is bathed in the warm, golden light of Rome — filtered through high arched windows, falling onto inlaid walnut, frescoed ceilings, and the cool marble of original Renaissance floors.
Each room is its own balcony onto the gulf. Bedlinens are pressed cotton, baths are tiled in the local majolica, and the windows are always thrown open at sunrise.
