Housed within the historic Palazzo Fonseca, the hotel beautifully blends centuries of Roman history with the timeless glamour that has made Orient Express famous around the world. Today, the Orient Express brand is part of the LVMH family, bringing together one of the world's leading luxury groups with one of the most legendary names in travel. Guests can therefore expect the exceptional attention to detail, craftsmanship, elegance, and service associated with both Orient Express and LVMH, creating a stay that feels refined, authentic, and unmistakably luxurious.
What makes Orient Express La Minerva especially compelling is that it forms part of a much larger vision for the future of luxury travel. Alongside the hotel, the brand has launched the luxurious Orient Express La Dolce Vita train, allowing guests to discover Italy in extraordinary style aboard beautifully designed rail journeys. Orient Express has also entered the world of ultra-luxury yachting with Orient Express Corinthian, which welcomed its first guests in 2026, while its sister yacht, Orient Express Olympian, is scheduled to debut in 2027. Together, these experiences create a complete luxury travel ecosystem unlike any other, allowing guests to seamlessly combine exceptional hotels, legendary rail journeys, and extraordinary voyages at sea under one iconic brand.
