GRAND HOTEL CONTINENTAL, SIENA

A Luxurious Retreat in Siena’s Architectural Treasure, Italy

GRAND HOTEL CONTINENTAL

Historic Palazzo Gori Pannilini

Walk along the Via Banchi di Sopra and prepare to wonder. The Grand Hotel Continental is an absolutely magnificent building, even by the high standards of Siena. A true jewel in the city’s architectural treasure trove, the Palazzo Gori Pannilini – as it was known in the 17^th century – was considered glorious enough by Pope Alexander VII to make a fitting wedding present for his niece Olimpia.

As you’ll discover, the grandeur remains to this day. High, arched and decorated ceilings, grand lintels, priceless furniture and refined marble provide the most magnificent backdrop to a wealth of exceptional frescoes, original paintings and carefully chosen sculptures. The opulence continues into the guest rooms too. So you can expect décor that includes silver inlaid mirrors, travertine marble bathrooms and rich silks.
