How these benefits work

Grand Hotel Minerva includes a Food & Beverage credit of 100 USD equivalent for use during your stay, not combinable with other offers, not applicable to the room rate, and with no cash value if not redeemed in full, so it is settled on the room account; bookings in Suites or Unique Rooms add a further 100 USD credit, for a total of 200 USD. Breakfast is already included in the property rate and served for up to two guests per bedroom, in the restaurant or via in-room dining. The upgrade is confirmed on arrival based on that day's availability rather than held in advance, and early check-in and late check-out are requested beforehand and confirmed on the day. These are the Virtuoso reference amenities for 2026, and which of them actually applies, along with the rate and cancellation terms, follows the live rate for the dates you choose.

Pick your dates and the button carries them into the live rate page; leave them empty and it still works.

Is the rate at Grand Hotel Minerva higher when you book through FlyBest?

No. The live rate comes from the hotel's own inventory; we add no mark-up and charge no service fee. A rate carrying the Virtuoso amenities is normally the same price as the public rate for the same room, though different rate codes can differ in price, breakfast and cancellation terms, so the live rate page is what to go by before you book.

Is the room upgrade at Grand Hotel Minerva guaranteed?

No. The directory line reads “Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability”: the hotel arranges it from whatever is unsold that day, so it cannot be locked in beforehand and a particular room type cannot be promised. If the upgrade matters for this trip, say so when you book and we will put the request to the hotel.

Can the credit at Grand Hotel Minerva be used against the room rate?

The directory line reads “$100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)”. The credit is for on-property spending during the stay, settled on the room account at check-out, and cannot be applied to the room rate. It cannot be combined with other offers. Anything left unused has no cash value.

How is breakfast handled at Grand Hotel Minerva?

The directory line reads “Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant and via in-room dining (already included in property rates)”. Breakfast is already part of the room rate here.
