Novotel Basel City

Spread along the banks of the Rhine, Basel is a hive of Swiss culture, and a stay at the Novotel here will have you within shouting distance of all the action. There’s a handy metro station just 2 minutes’ walk away from the hotel, so you’ll be able to easily make your way across the city and hit all the sights on your list.

The city’s main square is less than 15 minutes from the hotel on the metro – or about 25 minutes’ walk if you’re up for getting your steps in. This part of the city is home to the Old Town, which extends roughly from the banks of the river to Spalentor City Gate and is full of charm. Picture cobbled streets and charming old churches. A visit to Basel wouldn’t be complete without hitting at least a museum (or two). Kunstmuseum is home to one of the finest collections of painting in Switzerland, and is about 10 minutes’ walk from the main square.

When it comes to eats, Basel has a bit of everything. From traditional Swiss dishes to international cuisines, you’ll find it all here. For a fuss-free meal in cosy surroundings, the hotel’s restaurant and bar serves up a mixture of local and global options. Grab a quiet after dinner drink here, or head out into town and see where the wind takes you – the choice is yours.
