This 4.7-rated venue offers Renaissance frescoes and vaulted ceilings within rooms dating to the 12th century, providing an architectural authenticity that newer properties cannot replicate.
Weddings here leverage the hotel's 150-year hospitality legacy and proximity to Siena's most iconic landmarks for ceremony and reception settings.
5 star is truly the description from accommodations, staff, morning breakfast, lounge, etc. Our son’s wedding was here mid stay and before during and after the wedding day we were treated like ‘royalty’.

Asked along the way.
Can we hold ceremonies in the historic center of Siena, or must everything occur at the hotel?+
The hotel's location on Via Banchi di Sopra permits ceremonies in nearby Siena Cathedral or Piazza del Campo (with permits), while receptions occur at the hotel. Staff can coordinate logistics given the property's central location.
What makes this venue different from other Siena hotels?+
Grand Hotel Continental is the only five-star venue directly positioned in Siena's medieval core with original 12th-century architecture. Competitors are typically located outside the historic center and lack this historical integration.
How many guest rooms are available for our wedding party?+
The hotel features 57 rooms across multiple categories. Wedding packages typically offer preferential rates for guests booking blocks; consult the team for specific allocations.
What is the typical wedding package cost structure?+
Pricing varies by season and guest count. Contact the venue directly at https://collezione.starhotels.com/en/our-hotels/grand-hotel-continental-siena/ for customized proposals, as luxury five-star accommodations and dining typically range from €150–300+ per person for receptions.
