Hugo Toro

Orient Express La Minerva has commissioned renowned artist architect Hugo Toro to usher the hotel into a new era of modernity, reimagining its unparalleled sophistication. Guided by his passion for elevating historic beauty and his spirited wanderlust, Toro brings a forward-thinking vision to La Minerva.

Immersed in the fabric of Rome – a city that evokes emotion and amazement – he absorbed its rich palate of textures, materials and colors. 

Here, he strikes a delicate balance between classic Art Deco with a touch of elegance and grace, paying homage to the original soul of the hotel while weaving in the refined savoir-faire of Orient Express. Under his sway, the illustrious palace writes its next ​​chapter.
