Grand Hotel Minerva Firenze Map

One of Florence's most exclusive establishments, the Grand Hotel Minerva occupies a fabulous position in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, one of the city's most centrally placed squares. Thanks to careful restoration work supervised by architects Edoardo Detti and Carlo Scarpa, the Grand Hotel Minerva is one of the most prestigious and highly rated hotels in Florence, the chosen residence of numerous celebrities, including the painter Orfeo Tamburi who, in 1963, wrote: "from the window of Santa Maria Novella, the hillsides of Fiesole, the fountains, the monuments: Tuscany in a room at the Minerva".

Grand Hotel Minerva has more than a hundred elegantly furnished rooms, each with its own individual style and affording a unique view over Piazza Santa Maria Novella or the cloisters of the Church. A number of suites feature Turkish baths and hydromassage facilities. For those searching for maximum exclusivity, the hotel's sumptuous 120sqm Presidential Suite, complete with splendid frescoed drawing rooms, is the perfect choice.

On the top floor of the hotel guests find Grand Hotel Minerva's Roof Garden and panoramic swimming pool, from where to admire a breathtaking view over the city of Florence. The spacious "I Chiostri" restaurant is the ideal venue in which to savour the delectable dishes of Tuscany's great gastronomic tradition either in the main dining room or, al fresco, on terrace. With its superb conference rooms, all of which boast natural sources of light, the Grand Hotel Minerva is a much requested location for every genre of high profile business event.
