Grand Hotel Minerva occupies a palazzo beside the church of Santa Maria Novella, a building with centuries of history that became an inn in 1848 and a grand hotel in 1958.
Its defining transformation came that year, when architects Carlo Scarpa and Edoardo Detti reshaped much of the interior, leaving a modernist imprint that still defines the hotel today. Set directly in Florence's historic centre, it earns its place through the rare pairing of mid-century design pedigree and one of the only rooftop pools in the city.
Known for: city life, landmarks, local immersion.
Florence is the historic heart of Tuscany, offering an immersive dive into Renaissance art, architecture, and exquisite Italian cuisine.
