Basel City Stories

Our hotel - we are Basel. During Carnival and all year round the Hotel Basel is more than the second home for many locals - it's also a treasure of countless stories.

Experience Basel stories at the Hotel Basel, on the corridors and in the rooms, told in a charming and witty way by Kati Rickenbach. The Hotel Basel is full of stories, And not only the hotel - you will find stories in the Brasserie Steiger, in the lobby and in the Lisettli Stube.

Discover

  • at the Brasserie Steiger, annually changing portraits of personalities who are conected to the Hotel Basel.
  • in the hotel lobby four times a year changing exhibitions of Basel artists.
  • in the corridors and rooms, the history of ancient people who have left their footprints in Basel.
