In our city on the Rhine you'll feel the diversity and joie de vivre that make Basel so special. That's why there's no better place in the world for Hotel Märthof than right here: where the city throbs with life, where enjoyment is not a luxury but a way of life, and where imagination has long since left the daily grind behind. The charm, liveliness and eventful history of our establishment are all reflected in our interior design. Pretty details from style eras gone by complement natural materials and combine with modern highlights to produce 68 unique rooms. Find out which one suits you: Superior, Signature, Deluxe or Junior Suite?

Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl

Classic French · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

The name Peter Knogl goes hand in hand with French haute cuisine, which he produces here in the flagship restaurant of the over-300-year-old Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. His cooking takes the form of extremely harmonious, mature and skilfully reduced creations that showcase his very own signature style. Well-defined flavours, subtle contrasts, perfect craftsmanship, no compromising on the quality of his ingredients… A case in point is the fantastic wild sea bass covered with finely spiced, crispy fried chorizo brunoise, served on a bed of subtly sweet julienned cucumber and accompanied by an el

Restaurant LA

regional · ★ Michelin

€€€

If you're not careful, you might end up walking right past the narrow façade of this mid-terrace restaurant. This charming, lively little establishment is right at home here in Basel's St Johanns-Vorstadt district. Both the slick interior and chef-patron Matthieu Judenne's seasonally inspired cuisine are modern, but for all their creativity they remain pleasingly accessible and ingredient-driven. The focus is undisputedly on flavour – soul food rather than frills is the order of the day here. This ethos is evident in dishes such as "poached egg, pea tartare, tarragon foam" and "octopus, Kalama

The set menu is accompanied by wine pairings from an extensive selection that includes an impressive choice of champagnes. The stylish bar area is perfect for an aperitif or nightcap. There is also a pretty terrace in the courtyard.

This restaurant presents a compelling concept in a stylish setting near Basel Zoo. A personal, handwritten welcome at the table sets the tone for the cuisine of Pascal Steffen and his team, which combines classical foundations with modern creativity. The surprise menu spans seven to 10 courses – only the ingredients are disclosed in advance, and these are of exceptional quality, with an emphasis on regional sourcing. The dishes are plant-forward, but fish and meat also feature. Their signature "Gemüse Garten" showcases over 30 varieties of vegetables prepared using a range of techniques to cre

This place exudes brasserie appeal thanks to its charming, stylish atmosphere and unfussy, honest seasonal menu, which also includes classic dishes. Despite its proximity to the centre, the location is pleasantly quiet – outside, an attractive terrace with shady trees beckons. There are well-kept guestrooms for overnight stays.
