Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

With nearly 350 years of history, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is one of Europe’s most storied city hotels. Located in the heart of Basel’s Old Town, directly on the banks of the Rhine, the hotel combines historic charm, genuine hospitality and timeless elegance – unmistakably Basel: cultivated, warm and authentic.

Following a two‑year transformation, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois celebrated a new chapter in summer 2025 with the reopening of its historic head building, reimagined by the renowned Basel‑based architects Herzog & de Meuron. The new spaces impress with their generosity, light and artisanal sophistication. Elegant rooms and suites, versatile event spaces, a new restaurant and the Japanese‑inspired wellbeing retreat Seijaku were created – a place dedicated to the art of mindfulness. High above Basel’s rooftops, it invites guests to pause and restore balance between body and mind.

Culinarily, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois delights on every level: at Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl, awarded three Michelin stars and 19 GaultMillau points, guests experience world‑class haute cuisine. With sensitivity, precision and passion, Chef de Cuisine Peter Knogl crafts culinary masterpieces – pure and authentic. Brasserie Les Trois Rois offers Swiss and French classics, freshly reinterpreted with great attention to detail. In September 2025, the restaurant Banks opened as Basel’s newest social hub. European‑Asian inspired and modern in its approach, Banks stands for creative flavour combinations and shared dining experiences. At its centre: a sculptural bar beneath a poetic ceiling installation by artist duo Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger.

The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is synonymous with moments of pleasure beyond the everyday: at Bar Les Trois Rois, guests and locals gather for award‑winning cocktails with Rhine views, while the elegant Afternoon Tea and popular Sunday Brunch provide a refined setting for memorable occasions.
