Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

City Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.4
 

Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, a legendary five-star jewel in Basel's Old Town, graces the Rhine's banks where medieval ships once docked at the salt tower, its storied walls—among Europe's oldest city hotels—having welcomed luminaries like Napoleon, Elizabeth II, and Pablo Picasso.

The hotel's rooms and suites are a tapestry of timeless grandeur, blending ornate chandeliers, rich velvets, and polished wood with modern finesse. Expansive windows frame the Rhine's gentle flow or the cobblestone charm of Basel's historic heart, while plush bathrooms, adorned with luxurious toiletries, offer serene escapes. Each space hums with a curated elegance, from hand-painted details to air-conditioned comfort, creating an intimate yet regal retreat for discerning travellers.

Dining at Cheval Blanc, a culinary titan with three Michelin stars and 19 Gault Millau points, is an exquisite journey through French haute cuisine, where delicate dishes—think butter-poached lobster or truffle-laced consommé—are crafted with artistry and paired with rare vintages from an impeccable cellar. The Brasserie, a lively counterpoint, serves soulful Swiss classics like creamy Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, savoured in a warm, wood-paneled setting. The bar, aglow with soft lighting, pours meticulously crafted cocktails and crisp regional wines, inviting guests to linger over views of the Rhine's shimmering waters.

The hotel's fitness centre, bathed in natural light, energizes with sleek equipment, while the concierge weaves Basel's cultural tapestry into bespoke experiences—think private tours of the tri-border region or gallery visits to the city's renowned art scene. Guests receive a BaselCard, unlocking free public transport and half-price access to cultural gems, from museums to riverfront festivals, immersing them in the city's cosmopolitan pulse.

Perched just steps from Basel's Old Town and 7 kilometers from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois offers seamless access to the tri-border region's vibrant markets, historic spires, and the Rhine's timeless flow, crafting an unforgettable ode to Basel's worldly charm.
