THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Orient Express La Minerva (Opening Spring 2025)
Orient Express La Minerva occupies a seventeenth-century palace on Piazza della Minerva, an easy walk from the Pantheon and the Church of the Gesù. Its lobby sits under a glass ceiling, and behind the bar stands a statue of Minerva carved by Rinaldo Rinaldi, a pupil of Canova, watching over anyone who stops for a drink. Architect Hugo Toro reworked the ninety-three rooms across six floors, layering Art Deco lines onto Roman columns and architecture that predate the hotel by centuries. Every room comes with a bathrobe, minibar and soundproofing. The restaurant sits seven stories above the square, with panoramic views few Roman rooftops can match. The spa draws on Ottoman hammam ritual and follows a route from Constantinople to Venice, borrowed straight from the Orient Express's own history, a detail no neighbouring hotel can claim. Dogs are welcome, families can book a family room, and staff answer in English, French and Italian. This opened only in spring 2025, so service rhythms are still settling in, worth knowing if you expect a house that already runs like clockwork. It suits someone who wants the address and the theatre of arriving somewhere storied, and doesn't mind paying for it: an extra bed runs 220 euros a night, and a 100 euro daily deposit is taken at check-in. It is less suited to anyone chasing a quiet courtyard away from the sights, since Piazza della Minerva sits within reach of the Pantheon, the Church of the Gesù and the Altare della Patria. What lingers afterward is that statue behind the bar, outlasting every conversation held in front of it. Orient Express La Minerva opened in spring 2025 on Piazza della Minerva, steps from the Pantheon, inside a seventeenth-century palace. Its hammam-inspired spa and rooftop restaurant set it apart from other Rome addresses. It suits those chasing history and a premium address, not anyone wanting quiet.
