Grand Hotel Minerva

Fall into a blissful sleep at the Grand Hotel and wake up next to the façade of Santa Maria Novella, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the center of Florence – so close you feel like you could touch the marble with the tip of your fingers. All the city's main landmarks and the luxury shopping district of Via Tornabuoni are just a 5-10 minute walk away.

97 rooms and suites, a meticulous design that combines art with modern Italian craftsmanship. From the most intimate rooms with a view to duplex suites to spacious family solutions.

A bar with a swimming pool on the very top of a Thirteenth Century Palazzo, with a 360-degree view of the city and its monuments. Sip on our legendary Terrace Negroni, while taking in a breathtaking view of the Duomo as the sun sets over Florence. Open seasonally from April to October.

La Buona Novella, our restaurant, offers a refined dining experience with an elegant outdoor space overlooking the beautiful pedestrian square. From morning to evening, enjoy aperitivo, light snacks, and dinner featuring dishes inspired by traditional Tuscan cuisine with contemporary influences.

For those who like to stay active, our fitness center offers an inspiring view.

The rooms tell the story of the palazzo, of travelers who have walked through these walls for 200 years, and of seven centuries of art history. Works of art collected over time, some frescoes, a room with coffered ceilings from the 1300s; works by Emilio Greco, Renato Guttuso, Giuseppe Chiari, and that distinctive modernist architecture—legacy of the 1957 renovation by Maestro Carlo Scarpa, together with his friend and colleague Edoardo Detti.
