The Trevi Fountain and Campo de' Fiori are within a 10-minute walk. The hotel logo was inspired by Bernini's statue of an elephant with an Egyptian obelisk at its center, located in the Piazza.
Each suite and room is uniquely designed to match the Renaissance-style building. They also feature the same references and clever details as the public spaces. Of course, the luxury doesn't stop at the designs. Rivolta Carmignani is a renowned linen manufacturer based in Milan. They once provided the silks for the Orient Express. Guests can also expect to find luxury bath and hair products, as well as fine robes. Moreover, at check-in, each guest gets a "conductor" who is available 24 hours a day via WhatsApp. During your stay, you can choose from three different restaurants. La Minerva Bar is located in the lobby, situated under a glass dome with marble columns. However, the Minerva marble sculpture nearby may prevent you from overindulging. Gigi Rigolatto is a vibrant new restaurant inspired by Rivera, which will open in May. Rikas Hospitality Group has partnered with Paris Society to launch this exciting eatery. Additionally, Mimi Kakushi is a Japanese eatery inspired by 1920s Osaka, with some Western influences.
The Orient Express La Minerva was built in 1620 at Fonseca Palace. It was named after the Portuguese family that first owned the building. The palace was turned into a luxurious hotel in 1811, and it became a popular destination for young aristocrats on the Grand Tour. Stendhal and Melville both spent several months in the hotel to get inspiration for their Roman walking tours. George Sand also stayed for a few months. This is the first hotel in the Orient Express group. The La Dolce Vita line has relaunched a new route from Rome to Montalcino. Moreover, inside the hotel, the lobby's carpets feature patterns reminiscent of the Pantheon. Additionally, painters have decorated the ceiling with colors reminiscent of Rome.
There are 93 rooms and suites. Each piece showcases the unique nomadic style of Franco-Mexican artist and architect Hugo Toro. He designed each piece of furniture himself. The aesthetic is timeless, yet deeply rooted in its location. Vintage record players sit in elegant briarwood cabinets. Murano glass lamps and hand-painted ceilings add the finishing touches.
From the moment you step inside, this place will amaze you. A statue of Minerva, in her marble frame, watches you as you drink your martini. This place has all the ingredients to become iconic within five seconds. Moreover, the rooftop restaurant can be a great place to enjoy an aperitivo.

The hotel features a theme that emphasizes rejuvenation. In line with this, the focus on wellness is central to the overall guest experience. In the 210-square-meter spa, guests will find traditional Ottoman baths. This is a nod both to ancient Roman bathing traditions and Eastern influences. Moreover, the first-floor fitness area and yoga studio offer a balance for the body and mind. You can also book three flexible meeting rooms for private functions or corporate events. They are suitable for private gatherings, business meetings, and cultural events.
