Description: Hugging the banks of the Truckee River in downtown Reno, the Siena Hotel Spa Casino is a year-round “boutique” hotel dedicated to fine service in the European tradition. Modeled after a Tuscan villa, it offers discriminating travelers luxury amenities in an intimate setting. The 185 rooms and 29 suites range in size from 300 to 1,200 square feet and include such high-tech amenities as interactive Web TV, high-speed Internet access, and two-line speakerphones with dataports. To make your stay even more comfortable, the hotel also supplies robes and slippers, minibars with refrigerators, and European-style linens. Specialty rooms and suites on the top floor offer butler service. On-premise dining options include Lexie’s on the River, for fine Italian dining overlooking the river, and the 24-hour Contrada Cafe. Wine lovers especially enjoy Enoteca, a delightful wine bar that offers gourmet appetizers and tastings. Other on-site amenities include a 24-hour casino, live entertainment, and a full-service European health spa. In the location formerly occupied by the Holiday Hotel (which was demolished as part of the construction), this classy new property is in the forefront of downtown renewal. Its location on the river is reason enough to stop by, even if only for drinks and dinner.
