Volkshaus Basel Hotel by Herzog & de Meuron

With its major museums and art institutions, as well as the nearby Vitra campus, Basel boasts a rich and vibrant culture scene. Home of the renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss city also hosts the Volkshaus Basel, a Boutique and Design hotel they’ve beautifully designed, situated in the lively Kleinbasel district,

For a refined, contemporary city stay, the Volkshaus Basel Hotel proposes 45 rooms and suites, celebrating understated luxury and sleek aesthetics. Each room offers generous and bright space, subtly furnished with the essentials – carefully chosen wooden furniture pieces and smart storage solutions – enhanced by rich textures.

Reviving a local landmark, Herzog & de Meuron has transformed this century-old building, while interpreting its historical substance in a modern way and thus, restoring the original complex’s spirit. The boutique and design hotel complements the emblematic bar and brasserie, renovated by the studio a few years before.

A destination for art, culture and architecture enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
