Discover Basel, the tri-border area and the charm of our region. Allow yourself to be pampered – to make your stay in our small cosmopolitan city unforgettable. Culinary delights Our two restaurants await you with creations that delight.

Located at the crossroads of three countries, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois – “The Three Kings” – lives up to its royal reputation. Since 1681, notables that include Napoleon Bonaparte and Theodor Herzl have stayed in its lavish accommodations, which feature fine brocade and bold hues, along with antiques and original artworks. The views over the Rhine and Basel’s Old Town are equally dramatic. Peter Knogl's French haute cuisine, enriched with Mediterranean and Asian influences, has garnered three Michelin stars for the Cheval Blanc; other dining choices include the French/Swiss Brasserie.
