What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This family-run hotel is a real jewel. Its upmarket modern design extends from the lobby and lounge into the comfortable yet functional rooms.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Swiss border is two kilometres away, with central Basel just eight kilometres to the west.
The rooms
Rooms are dressed in Egyptian cotton, and many open onto balconies overlooking the garden.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The eight-by-four-metre pool is heated during the summer months, set beside sun loungers and the garden lawn.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
