Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is one of the oldest city hotels in Europe, tracing its history back to 1681, set directly on the Rhine in the heart of Basel and long a haunt of royalty, statesmen and artists from Napoleon to Picasso. Behind its stately façade lies a jewel-box of chandeliers, antiques and river views.

The dining reaches the very top. Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl holds three Michelin stars and 19 GaultMillau points and ranks among the top 100 restaurants in the world; the Brasserie Les Trois Rois serves Swiss and French specialties over the Rhine; Banks brings vibrant European-Asian sharing plates; and the award-winning Bar Les Trois Rois completes the offering.

For a grand, gastronomic stay in Basel, Les Trois Rois is without equal.
