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 17th 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.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
