The Grand Hotel de la Minerve is a five star luxury hotel, ranked among the top 2% in Rome, and housed in a 17th century palace. Staying here puts you right in the historic centre of Rome, walking distance from the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. The hotel was completely renovated in 1990 but has not forgotten its rich past, blending historical and 21st century elements in a seamless fashion. Among the unique features are the former Winter Garden, today a spectacular and elegant lobby dominated by an original 19th century statue of Minerva, and the beautiful roof garden where you can enjoy a superb view of the "Eternal City". 117 spacious bedrooms, 13 junior suites and 4 Presidential suites are elegantly furnished with rich fabric wallcoverings and marble bathrooms with both tub and shower. Each room has Internet modem and there are two wireless high speed locations in the hotel. There is a well equipped small gym (pictured) and cardivascular exercise center on the property.
