Overview

The Grand Hotel Minerva enjoys an enviable location just steps away from the iconic Santa Maria Novella Church, one of Florence’s most stunning cathedrals. This historic property dates back to 1848 when it was known as the Gran Locanda della Minerva. Housed in a 14th-century palace that was once part of the Santa Maria Novella monastery, the building underwent significant renovations in the 1950s to become the magnificent hotel it is today.

Thanks to a recent restoration, the hotel seamlessly blends its rich architectural history with contemporary art and modern design. Original artworks have been thoughtfully preserved and showcased, creating a space where history and creativity coexist beautifully.
