Originally built in the 17th century by the great Italian architect Carlo Fontana, Grand Hotel Continental Siena is a jewel in the heart of the Tuscan city of Siena. Its transformation from a splendid aristocratic home to one of the world's most elegant hotels inspired a painstaking restoration, and the hard work was indeed worthwhile. With its original architectural features and magnificent frescoes, including a wall painting of St. Christopher dating from the 15th century, the hotel is now an integral part of the city's cultural heritage.

4.5 rating in our book! Beautiful hotel and room with terrace/terrific views. Fantastic location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I rented a car in Siena, and they were very helpful giving me instruction on where to park. I was a bit nervous, but all turned out well. My only disappointment was the food in the bar area. We did not want to eat a big meal, so chose to eat in the hotel (bar menu). The first time, it was OK. The last evening, I could not eat the burger. Otherwise, I would definitely stay there again and will recommend to my friends and colleagues. Splurge and get the terrace!

The GH Continental is well known to be the best hotel in Siena and this is absolutely true! First: the location, really excellent! Secondly the atmosphère of the whole building, really magnificent! You really have the impression of being in the renaissance years! The room was Classic but confortable and our Little balcony had the picture perfect view on the duomo and the roofs of Siena. We had dinner at their cafe and it was nice. The staff were excellent, with special note for the reception team. Last but not least: the breakfast…maybe one of the best we have ever had in a hotel: despite the limited spaces (breakfast is served in the beautiful rooms Of the Sapordivino restaurant) it was really abundant in quantity and quality. Best way to start the day and enjoy the visit of Siena!

My husband and I spent 2 wonderful days/ nights at this gorgeous hotel. Prior to our arrival Massimo, the concierge was so helpful and responsive. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and reserved a fantastic local guide for a walking tour. We booked the hotel through Amex Platinum Travel and we received the most gorgeous upgraded suite. We had a view of the Cathedral and Tuscan countryside and small alleyways in Siena. The colors both at sunrise and sunset were stunning. We enjoyed a delicious complimentary local wine and food tasting in the bar area. Laura and Gianpaolo at the front desk warmly greeted us each time we came back to the hotel and were very helpful. The bar and restaurant staff were also wonderful. The hotel is elegant and has many comfortable spots to relax and enjoy a drink either before dinner or after! This truly is a magical place to stay, one we will never forget
