Exterior
Whatever the nature of your stay, the city can reveal unexpected depths. Because the capital of tradition, oligarchic dynasties, understatement and little gestures repeated down through the centuries is also the laboratory city that is capable of inventing and doing with surprising concreteness and ingenuity. In this post-industrial city in full transition, the Winter Olympics were made possible only by a combination of Turins visionary spirit and its organisational talent. These same qualities have enabled its status as a centre of avant-garde boat building despite being landlocked, its burgeoning hydrogen industry in response to the new energy challenges, Italys most advanced system for furthering contemporary art, an extraordinary creative effervescence in the musical arena, and an audiovisual and film production centre capable of competing with the traditional international studios. Modern-day Turin is a centre of development of the culture economy, the service economy, the hospitality economy. A process in which the Olympics, with the urbanistic and structural changes that it required, represent only a stage, the one that is easiest to see. And if today Turin can position itself as a city of work where a multiplicity of fields of expertise converge, at the same time it remains a city of taste and good taste, a theatre city with its refined baroque aesthetic, its convivial pleasures wrapped in an elegant sobriety, sparkling with the myriad shards of light from its precious crystals, mirrors, velvets, frescoes, the internal and natural scenery that embellish the whole.

Lobby
Turin now offers increasingly varied and content-rich opportunities for companies and organisations that want to stage events, conventions, meetings and celebrations of a business or private nature. On such occasions the 4-star Grand Hotel Sitea is one of the citys beacons, for its high-profile hospitality, its experience and its well-appointed facilities four luxury and charming rooms able to hold anywhere from 25 to 100 people. The very quiet Sala Re Umberto looks onto the hotels interior garden but is also brightly lit and lends itself to various types of set-up. The Sala Principe Amedeo is similar in size but located on the first floor, a soberly elegant room that can hold a maximum of 60 people. Compact, decorated in rich red tones and elegant classic furnishings, the Sala Vittorio Emanuele is a setting of great charm. The warmth of the fireplace creates the right atmosphere both for a dinner with friends and to celebrate an event to remember.

Restaurant
With its elegant Empire-style decor, the Carignano restaurant offers refined international cuisine to the guests of the four-star Grand Hotel Sitea and the public along with dishes from the renowned Piedmontese tradition. Elegant and reserved, with a charming view of a well-tended internal garden, it is ideal both for romantic candlelit dinners and for receiving distinguished guests. The main room is suitable for buffets, cocktails and business lunches for up to 80 people, while the adjoining Carlo Alberto room, decorated in a classic Old English style, holds up to 35. An opportunity for putting on events in an intimate atmosphere, with impeccable service you can count on.

The bar is open year round from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 a.m. The two rooms of the Carignano restaurant, internal to the hotel, designed for a total of 115 guests, are especially well suited for holding cocktail parties and wedding banquets, both for the quality of the cuisine and for its friendly staff, always able to provide a harmonious welcome on festive occasions. The view of the little internal courtyard adds another charming touch to the ambience.
