High-End Travel Switzerland's Review

Les Trois Rois is one of Europe's oldest hotels and lies in the centre of Basel's beautiful Old Town and on the banks of the Rhine. This prestigious hotel has a proud history since 1681 and over the years lodged many aristocrats like Napoleon, Queen Elisabeth II, Pablo Picasso, Voltaire, Princess (later Queen Victoria), Kaiser Wilhelm II, Thomas Mann and many other personalities. However, the building that you see today was from 1841/42 and again renovated in 2004 - 2006.

It has 101 rooms and suites furnished with flair, with a passion for detail and a variety of captivating color schemes. For single guests, the junior rooms offer a distinctive decor and an elegant enhancement to every stay in Basel. From all of the eleven spacious junior suites, you have a perfect view over Klein Basel (Lesser Basel) rooftops to the opposite banks of the River Rhine. All the rooms and suites hark back to a time of extravagant luxury reflecting authentic period detail.
