Historic 17th-century palazzo in the heart of Rome, yards from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Coliseum: This is the Grand Hotel De La Minerve: Stay here, in the footsteps of Stendhal and Sartre
Aug
For an historic Roman holiday in the centre of the artistic, historical, religious and architectural riches of the Eternal City, you will love the five-star Grand Hotel De La Minerve. This 17th-century palazzo might easily be considered to have the best location in Rome—just yards from the Pantheon and a few minutes’ walk from the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Coliseum and most of the highlights of a Roman tour. It means you can easily wander among the delights of the city even before breakfast and after dinner, away from the tourist hordes—no doubt one reason it was a favoured haunt of both Stendhal and Sartre among the ranks of men of letters.
You don’t even have to walk: from the hotel’s fabulous Minerva Roof Garden you can almost touch the Pantheon dome, and you can take in the whole vista of Rome around you—a sight to add an extra slice of La Dolce Vita to your Italian wining and dining, from breakfast as the sun rises over the famous rooftops to drinks at sunset and dinner by candleight and the light of the moon. And then again, if you swing open the shutters of your room the chances are you will have your own stunning private view. This large yet elegant hotel, standing in a lovely piazza alongside Bernini’s elephant obelisk and the famous Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, really is an excellent place to stay.
As to the interior, it retains its mansion-like proportions combined with contemporary clean lines and wooden floors in 135 air-conditioned guest rooms which range from comfortable if diminutive Classics to sunlit Deluxe and Superiors with floor-to-ceiling windows, all the way to the expansive suites, some with four-poster beds—and the richly decorated ceilings of the Stendhal Suite.
Amenities are as you expect in a five-star hotel, including marble bathrooms with bathtub, shower and bidet, robes and slippers, flatscreen TVs, wifi and comfortable armchairs, plus work desks.
