12. ART HOUSE Basel - Member of Design Hotels

Vorstädte, 0.9 km from Basel Zoo

"We enjoyed our stay at Art House Basel for the most part. The staff went above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and were incredibly helpful with getting our delayed luggage delivered 15 minutes before our River cruise departed (two full days after we arrived in Basel!). The location was perfect for sightseeing and art museums. My criticisms: The room lighting, especially near the vanity, was terrible. It created dark shadows and made it difficult to put makeup on. The pocket door...

This is one of the best hotels I stayed in terms of customer service. We stayed there as a family in June 2015 with small kids. We were amazed by the warm welcome ( complimentary drinks & food, tram tickets etc) and hotel staff made our stay a perfect one. Our room was quite spacious, we had 2 rooms with a bathroom and a balcony. It was very clean, even in my standards( I am very picky on the topic :-). Hotel is very well located as well, very close to the old city and the zoo (perfect for...

When were we there: August 2019 for the jazz festival Overall: Great venue, with very characteristic accommodation, a great selection of elements in the hotel to experience and explore - two restaurants, bar, theatre, and a cellar with archaeological interest. The hotel even offers an audio guide to explore it. Rooms: Rooms are split across two buildings, depending on whether you go for "style" or "art" rooms - we were swapped to an art room, which was really impressive to experience,...

I was given a room on the top floor. It was very comfortable and had everything I needed. As someone who works from their hotel room the desk arrangement isn’t ideally suited to that but I made it work. The restaurant was fabulous food and drinks and clearly was a destination spot for locals which meant there was a really buzzy atmosphere. There was also a wet bag in the room for those who swim in the river but I used it for my gym gear. Tea and coffee facilities are outside the room on the...
