Grand Hotel Sitea

I experienced the most incredible stay at Grand Hotel Sitea. This historic 5-star hotel has equally 5-star service and staff. Located in the heart of Turin, the hotel is perfectly positioned and also gorgeous. The hotel lobby, restaurants and hotel bar "American Bar" have retained its old warm charm without feeling dated, also managing to preserve some details dating back to decades prior, yet keeping the opulence and elegance of that by-gone era without feeling "stuffy" or "pretentious" like other hotels of its caliber would. The rooms are all done in similar taste, but more modern with thoughtful touches. The bed was HUGE and so comfortable and I especially appreciated the spacious spa bathroom and delicious smelling products. Sitea is a sustainable hotel and still family-owned and operated after all of these years - which was another thing I appreciated both as a traveller and travel professional. Other things worth noting is their incredibly abundant gourmet breakfast spread, enchanting garden (with turtles!), an amazing hotel bar with legend and veteran Italian bartender Beppe serving some great classics, forgotten classic cocktails, as well as his own signature drinks (1 was even given an award!), and not one but two restaurants to choose from - their Michelin star Ristorante Carignano and the more "casual" stylish bistrot Carlo e Camillo. But what stood out the most were the people who worked there - extremely professional but also super sweet and personable, always welcoming you with a smile and going out of their way to help you with any questions or needs, making sure you feel taken care of at every moment.

My wife and I chose Grand Hotel Sitea to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it turned out to be a very smart decision. Even before the stay we received welcoming emails from Guilia and Fabrizio recognising our choice and offering to make it a memorable stay which was a good sign that we had made a good choice. On the day we arrived, we received a very warm welcome from Lucrezia who arranged an early check-in to upgraded deluxe accommodation with a Jacuzzi and a great view of the church on the side street. We appreciated the luxurious accommodation, old world charm, great location, delicious breakfast with the best Cappuccino of any hotel we???ve stayed in Italy and especially the excellent service. The whole team made us feel welcome and valued guests. Grand Hotel Istea will be our first choice whenever we return to Torino. Grazie Mille Fabrizio, Guilia, Lucrezia, Breakfast team and everyone who looked after us.

Faultless experience, lovely barman- most highly recommended to foreigners especially looking for international quality hospitality
