Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois
About
Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is one of Basel’s oldest and most beloved landmarks, first established in 1681 and restored to its Belle Époque glory by Amadeus Merian in the 1840s. Nestled on the banks of the Rhine, the hotel marries centuries of storied architecture with contemporary elegance, offering guests a unique blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Its prime location places you in the heart of Basel’s Old Town while you enjoy sweeping river vistas from its terraces and dining rooms. A culinary jewel, the hotel houses the Michelin‑starred Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl, celebrated for three Michelin stars and 19 GaultMillau points. Nearby, the Brasserie Les Trois Rois serves refined French‑Swiss classics, and the Bar Les Trois Rois offers an intimate setting for cocktails with a scenic backdrop. These dining experiences, coupled with seasonal afternoon tea, underpin the hotel’s reputation as a gastronomic hub. Guests can also partake in exclusive events such as the Grand Hotel’s New Year’s Eve gala—featuring an 88‑minute programme of champagne, five‑course menus and live music, with a price of CHF 395 per person—and brunch celebrations in the Salle des Rois. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a luxury traveler or simply in search of a romantic riverside retreat, Les Trois Rois delivers an unforgettable stay in Switzerland’s cultural capital.
