The Grand Hotel Continental
With it’s 51 guest rooms and central location, the Grand Hotel Continental is the perfect base for your luxury holiday in Tuscany.
The rooms are enriched by a painstakingly assembled collection of precious antiques and paintings with impressive silk, china, marble and travertine surfaces. Our Suites felt like a masterpiece that has been refined over the centuries but as fresh and clean as it needs to be to offer that sense of welcome you’re awaiting after a traveling. In short, the hotel was originally designed for the tastes of the 17th-century aristocracy and enhanced to meet the exacting demands of the modern traveler.
We were situated on the top floor of the palazzo, in the duplex tower, the Panoramic Suite which is truly the realm of luxury and privacy, with its incomparable view over Siena and the surrounding hillsides and valleys. A favourite of great artists, powerful states people and renowned intellectuals, the Panoramic Suite is unique in Siena: from the small lounge with its beamed ceiling, through the tranquil study with its panoramic view over the comings and goings below, to the bedroom in the turret, all of the spaces in this awe-inspiring suite have a well-balanced, opulent feel. The fine antiques, precious silk wallpaper and polished-marble bathroom provide the finishing touches to an environment where history is still very much alive. The bottle of champagne sitting on fresh ice, was opened as soon as quick as the uploads to instagram started. This suite and the entire hotel are a ’cause for celebration’ and there is simply, no other hotel in Sienna to consider.
A sine qua non for the intellectuals on the Grand Tour in the 19th century, the hotel has been an integral part of the history of Siena, and of Italy as a whole. Enjoy the 17th-century splendour.
