About this hotel
General information
Grand Hotel Continental is an elegant boutique hotel in the historic centre of Siena. It occupies a 17th-century palazzo, a fine piece of Renaissance architecture and part of the city’s cultural heritage. Each of its 51 rooms weaves five centuries of history and aristocratic tradition together with modern comfort, from painted vaults and frescoes to antique furniture and marble bathrooms.
Dinner is served beneath the glass dome of the inner courtyard, surrounded by historic interiors, while aperitivi and wine are poured in a cellar carved from the rock beneath a medieval tower. Four elegant rooms host meetings, seminars and conferences, and the hotel arranges weddings and other celebrations.
