Over Three Centuries of Grandeur on the Rhine
One of Europe's Oldest Continuously Operating Grand City Hotels (Est. 1681)
Dating back to 1681 as one of Europe's oldest city hotels, Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois occupies an iconic riverfront position in the historic heart of Basel's Old Town. Member of The Leading Hotels of the World and Swiss Deluxe Hotels, this storied five-star grand palace has hosted monarchs, artists, and luminaries from Napoleon Bonaparte and Queen Elizabeth II to Pablo Picasso and the Dalai Lama.
Today, it masterfully harmonizes 340+ years of rich architectural heritage with modern bespoke luxury. Perfectly situated where Switzerland, France, and Germany converge, the hotel places guests steps from Basel's world-class art museums, the historic cathedral, and picturesque riverbank walks. Its 101 rooms and suites are individually adorned with neoclassical antiques, silk textiles, and private step-out balconies hovering directly over the Rhine.
Culinary art reaches the pinnacle of world gastronomy at Cheval Blanc by Chef Peter Knogl, awarded 3 Michelin stars and 19 Gault Millau points. Guests also savor classical Swiss-French market cuisine at Brasserie Les Trois Rois, open-air dining on the summer Rhine terrace, and award-winning cocktails beside the roaring fireplace at Bar Les Trois Rois.
