At ETuk Tours Rome, we are thrilled to celebrate a remarkable milestone with one of our distinguished partners – Orient Express La Minerva, recently awarded two MICHELIN Keys by the prestigious MICHELIN Guide.
This rare honor recognizes La Minerva as an exceptional stay – a true masterpiece of hospitality nestled in the heart of Rome, the Eternal City. Since its grand opening in April 2025, the hotel has captured the world’s attention for its unmatched elegance, refined craftsmanship, and deep connection to the timeless art of travel.
A modern legend in the eternal city
Reimagined by the visionary Hugo Toro, Orient Express La Minerva beautifully bridges heritage and contemporary design. Once a sanctuary for writers and artists, its storied walls now reveal a dialogue of Art Deco lines, Italian artistry, and pure sophistication.
Guests are invited to slow down and immerse themselves in the spirit of “slow travel” — whether sipping a cocktail under the luminous skylight of La Minerva Bar or enjoying panoramic views of the Pantheon from Gigi Rigolatto Roma, the rooftop restaurant and bar.
Every detail celebrates the essence of Orient Express: timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and an experience that transcends ordinary luxury.
Why they deserve this recognition
This recognition is a testament to years of passion, creativity, and dedication from the entire Orient Express team, led by Pierre-Antoine Coutand, Vice President Global Brand.
In his own words:
“Today is not just an achievement for Orient Express – it’s a shared moment of pride for all of us who have worked passionately to bring this vision to life. I’m beyond proud to share that Orient Express La Minerva has been awarded two MICHELIN Keys, recognizing it as an exceptional stay – an incredible distinction so soon after its opening in Rome.
Reimagined by the brilliant Hugo Toro, this hotel embodies everything we stand for: timeless elegance, craftsmanship, and the art of slow travel.”
At ETuk Tours Rome, we deeply relate to this spirit – creating experiences that celebrate Rome’s history, people, and beauty through the art of authentic, meaningful travel.
