Hotel Victoria

Although it’s not the capital, Basel is certainly one of Switzerland’s most culturally rich and architecturally striking cities, offering a multitude of interesting things to see and do – and Hotel Victoria places you within easy reach of the top attractions. 

In less than 20 minutes, you can walk to Marktplatz (the main square), where you’ll find the red brick City Hall, lots of cafes and a variety of food stalls on certain days of the week. This is an ideal starting point for exploring the Altstadt (Old Town), one of the best preserved and most picturesque medieval town centres in Europe, full of winding cobbled streets lined with colourful, timber-framed houses dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. If you’re into art, meanwhile, the Kunstmuseum Basel is an absolute must-visit, housing one of the oldest collections of public art in the world. 

When you’re not out admiring the city’s architectural splendour, soaking up the local culture and indulging in Swiss culinary delights, the hotel offers a stylish and sophisticated space in which to rest and relax, with spacious, air conditioned rooms designed for maximum comfort. They all come with a Nespresso coffee machine, memory foam pillows and sound insulation, so you can count on a restful night’s sleep.

Be sure to try out the Bar & Bistro, whether it be for a sumptuous buffet breakfast, a light lunch, a delicious dinner or a leisurely afternoon coffee break. It’s also a great place to get your evening started with a cocktail or two before venturing out into town and sampling the many delights Basel has to offer.
