Turin hotels

Hotel Continental, Turin

This hotel in Turin is in an ideal location for visiting both the Lingotto exhibition centre, which hosts many trade shows and business events, and also for sightseeing in the historic town centre. Apart from the conference rooms and exhibition space, the Lingotto centre is also home to a shopping mall, Turin University's car design department and the Fiat headquarters. If you are visiting on business, make time to take a tour of the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, a tiny but superb collection of modern art donated by the Fiat dynasty, which includes works by Picasso, Matisse and Modigliani.

In downtown Turin (Torino) there is plenty to see and do, from the lavishly decorated Palazzo Reale and its more refined neighbour, the Palazzo Madama to the Museo Egizio, with its world-class collection of Egyptian antiquities. The Mole Antonelliana has become one of the city's most recognisable icons, with its elaborate four-faced dome. Step inside and you will find the fascinating Museo del Cinema, where you can witness the earliest movie-making experiments.
