The elegant Grand Hotel Continental is located close to the impressive ancient square, Piazza del Campo, famous for its bi-annual medieval horse race, Il Palio. Formerly the Gori Pannilini Palace, the building is steeped in history and underwent a painstaking restoration project, opening in 2002 as the only five-star hotel in the heart of Siena. This refined hotel with beautiful original frescoes and priceless furnishings is combined with a luxurious service and a romantic atmosphere, that throughout the centuries has won over the hearts of an élite clientele. Young aristocrats came here in the 1800s, as did Queen Margaret of Savoy, German statesman Horst Köhler, not to mention modern celebrities such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dario Fo, Andrea Bocelli and Daniel Craig whilst filming James Bond's 'Quantum of Solace'.
Ensure that you enjoy the hotel's facilities which include the SaporDivino restaurant, which serves Tuscan cuisine and other local delicacies, Enoteca SaporDivino wine bar and shop, and the Wine Cellar which is carved into the base of the medieval tower; a truly wonderful place where wine tasting of some of the most important wines of the area can be arranged and paid for locally.
The hotel has 51 rooms (official rating 5 star). Child prices apply to ages 2-12 years.
