STEINENSCHANZE Charming City & Garden Hotel

CHARMING AND IN THE HEART OF THE CITY – WE LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT!

Welcome to our hotel in the centre of Basel! Our cosmopolitan city – one of the best-preserved old towns in Europe – located at the crossroads of Switzerland, Germany, and France is a vibrant attraction for people from all over the world. We Basel residents love the relaxed play with contrasts – our cityscape harmoniously combines the grandeur of Renaissance buildings with contemporary architecture. Our guests enjoy our cosy rooms and the lovely garden. Right outside your door, you will find the picturesque old town, the Mediterranean-like banks of the Rhine in summer, trendy spots, and the vibrant cultural and art scene – whether you visit us at Hotel STEINENSCHANZE during a business trip or a city tour.

And just as attractively contrasting is the experience at Hotel STEINENSCHANZE. We like to be a little different! Because in Basel, we know:

  • Tradition can also be refreshing
  • Design can also be unpretentious

We are passionate hosts and run our STEINENSCHANZE Charming City & Garden Hotel as a modern hotel in Basel with a loving eye for detail and a lot of zest for life. Since 1970.

Our hotel in Basel

it's not far to the train station

In the self-proclaimed cycling city of Switzerland, many steps have already been taken towards a livable and environmentally conscious urban life. Public transport, or the "Öffis", also holds a high value in Basel. Silent Rhine ferries and trams make their rounds, and if you arrive by train, the station is only about a 12-minute walk from the Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel. This way, you can experience Basel particularly relaxed!

Ideal touchpoint for the fair

our hotel in Basel's centre

From us, it's very quick to the city, to the green spaces – or even to the next meeting? The geographical location in the tri-border area brings business people together in our beautiful city, who are happy to meet here without having to overcome large distances. Basel is therefore also significant as a trade fair location. Close to the Congress Center Basel (across the river on the right bank), our cosy Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel also offers the perfect location for a successful stay in Basel tailored to your needs.

A Wellness Oasis

Very friendly and competent staff, a hotel garden that invites you to stay longer, the optimal room design, and the central location of the hotel with convenient parking in the opposite public car park leave no wishes unfulfilled.

Super Service

Very good location. Friendly and attentive staff. Great breakfast spot in the greenery. Rooms are clean, but relatively small. Moderate price. Location in Basel is very central, yet quiet at night. Modern design.

Wonderful City Hotel

Very good accommodation for a city visit. Very personal, attentive service. Very close to the old town, train station, and car parks. The friendliness, attentiveness, and warmth of the entire team are authentic and uplifting.

Almost Heaven

Simply beautiful and cosy. Very personal, attentive service. After a tiring day working in the hotel's garden, relaxing with a glass of wine is truly restorative. On my next visit to Basel, I will definitely book my room at Steinenschanze again.
