Summary: This was an exceptional place to stay while in Florence. The city was very crowded with tourists and general city density and the Grand Hotel Minerva felt like an oasis of space. We had a beautiful view overlooking a spacious piazza and the facade of the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella. The pool was lovely and offered an epic view of the duomo. Every staff person we encountered provided exceptional service and friendliness. Plus the building is architecturally significant (designed by Carlo Scarpa) which my husband enjoyed. Breakfast was a generous buffet with plenty of options for everyone. We would absolutely stay here again.

Summary: Fantastic Hotel and location. Minutes walk from the Train Station. Was upgraded on arrival which was a great touch, friendly staff and good choice of Buffet Breakfast. Small Roof Top Swimming Pool and Bar, which is rare in the area. Florence is stunning and great for Designer Shopping.

Summary: Amenities including the gym were very good, except the top floor access was closed for pool renovations. Would have been nice to go up at least for the view. I believe it’s opening sometime in April, but you may want to check. Breakfasts were very good, but egg choices were limited and no orders available.
