Grand Hotel de la Minerve
$$$$, Pantheon
Fodor's Review:
The Minerve is the stylish reincarnation of the hostelry that occupied this 17th-century palazzo for hundreds of years, hosting literati from Stendhal to Sartre and de Beauvoir along with a bevy of crowned (and uncrowned -- Carlotta, the deposed Empress of Mexico resided here for a while) heads. It sports one of Rome's to-die-for locations: on the famous piazza with Bernini's elephant obelisk, and just a few feet from the Pantheon and the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Inside, a zillion-dollar renovation nearly gutted the building. What emerged was a vast and sleek lobby (complete with 19th-century statues and some rather gaudy stained glass), big banquet facilities, the lush La Cesta restaurant, and guest rooms aswim in Italian modern furnishings. Readers love the staff here, and no one can resist the lavish roof terrace. Open for summer dining in fair weather, it almost allows you to touch the dome of Hadrian's famous temple.
