Grand Hotel Continental Siena
General Description
It is the first and only five star hotel within the walled Siena city
centre. It was opened on February 2002. This predominantly 17th century
palace Designed by Baroque architect Giovanni Fontana has uncovered a
remarkable series of 15th Century frescoes of high quality and in a
miraculous state of preservation. It has also highlighted a medieval tower
that has been incorporated in a new suite of unique character. The focal
point of the hotel is a beautiful covered winter garden reminiscent of a
Renaissance piazza where the huge dial of a 19th Century English church
clock dominates the room from above the bar. In a context of 17th Century
balustrades and arches an unashamedly 21st century glass and steel lift
shaft completes this exciting combination of old and new. The hotel has a
