Timeless Basel Elegance with a Modern Edge
For more than three centuries, Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois has perfected the art of timeless hospitality with a contemporary twist. Sitting gracefully on the banks of the Rhine, in the heart of Basel’s Old Town, it’s a place where historic grandeur meets vibrant, modern spirit. Here, the walls carry centuries of stories—while new ones are written every day.
