Grand Hotel Continental Siena

The Grand Hotel Continental boasts a fabulous position, right in the heart of the historic center of Siena, opposite the Rocca Salimbeni building which houses the world's oldest bank, and just a few meters away from the Medieval city's Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio horse race takes place twice a year.

The hotel is situated in the 17th century Palazzo Gori, built by the architect Giovanni Fontana for the affluent Tuscan city's powerful Chigi dynasty. An ambitious restoration and refurbishment program has resulted in Palazzo Gori, now the Royal Demeure's Grand Hotel Continental, being transformed in what is Siena's most exclusive 5 star establishment.

The Grand Hotel Continental has 51 bedrooms and suites, all individually appointed with unique pieces of antique furniture, period paintings, terracotta floors, marble bathrooms, and vaulted or coffered wooden ceilings. Guest rooms all offer a successful combination of old world luxury and the modern technology.

The "Sapordivino" restaurant is a unique dining venue in Siena, where both hotel guests and non-residents regularly choose to take lunch or dinner, seated beneath a magnificent glass ceiling in the courtyard of the ancient Palazzo Gori. Exceptional seasonal menus feature the very best regional and local cuisine, accompanied by a fine selection of wines. The Grand Hotel Continental has 4 well equipped meeting rooms with a capacity for up to 80 people. Wi-Fi connectivity is available in all public areas.
