Italy, Florence – Grand Hotel Minerva

Recently refurbished, the Grand Hotel Minerva is a 97-room boutique hotel with the ambition of being the best Urban Resort Hotel in Florence.
Many of the rooms — all warm, inviting, and furnished in contemporary style — afford peerless views like that of the church and square of Santa Maria Novella and Florence's major historic buildings and monuments. Best, because you will be pampered by excellent, attentive service, provided with dedication and passion by our well-trained, helpful staff who will always greet you with a sincere smile.
The architect Piera Benelli designed the common spaces and rooms of the Grand Hotel Minerva, attentive to every single detail, and even designing all of its furniture and many accessories.
