Description
The Hotel Continental, located in the heart of Siena, is housed in Palazzo Gori Pannilini, built in the 17th century by the Chigi Pope Alexander VII for his niece Olimpia on the occasion of her marriage to the nobleman Giulio de' Gori.

The grandeur of the architecture and the building’s sumptuous decorative scheme perfectly express the high social standing of the families. Thanks to its artistic splendor, the Continental later became the preferred Sienese residence for young European aristocrats and intellectuals on the Grand Tour.

Many famous people of the time stayed there, including Queen Margaret of Savoy and her court. Recent restoration work has uncovered frescoes of outstanding beauty and the structure of a medieval tower. All this and much more contribute to the unique character of the Grand Hotel Continental, the only 5-star luxury hotel in Siena.

The hotel has 51 double classic, superior, superior panoramic and deluxe rooms, as well as junior suites. All rooms are also suitable for single use.

Each room features air-conditioning, private bathroom with hairdryer, safe, mini bar, satellite TV, pay TV, direct dial telephone, writing desk, heating and Internet connection.

Some rooms overlook the Duomo.
