Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Basel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Just off the market square, this friendly, modern, and unpretentious hotel is steps from all the attractions of the Old Town. It plays an important role in the neighborhood: in the evening its bars and restaurants fill up with an interesting mix of busy business executives, tired travelers, and locals winding down after work. Neutral-color guest rooms are accented with contemporary leather furniture and shiny chrome. Polished marble adds luster to the good-size baths.
