Grand Hotel Continental Siena - Starhotels Collezione: The Only Five-Star in the Historic Center

The Grand Hotel Continental Siena holds a unique distinction: it is the only five-star hotel within the historic walls of Siena, one of Italy's best-preserved medieval cities. A Starhotels Collezione property in a frescoed 17th-century palace on Banchi di Sopra, it puts guests a few steps from the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo and the cathedral.

The dining draws on Tuscany. Sapordivino reinterprets traditional Tuscan cuisine, blending ancient recipes with contemporary taste; the Wine Cellar, set in a rediscovered 13th-century medieval tower, houses a vast collection of fine wines; and the Lounge Bar pours signature aperitifs like the Vin Santo Swing.

For a historic stay in the heart of Siena, the Grand Hotel Continental is without rival.
