Explore the charming city of Basel from an urban, contemporary hotel in the centre - includes breakfast, and wellness perks
  • Central spot: Connecting with both Basel's past and future, The Passage in downtown is so called due to its strategic location close to the city’s ancient walls. The hotel itself makes a rather more hip and edgy statement, with a dazzling white modernist facade, and an inner courtyard patio area - a truly tranquil urban oasis.

  • Laid-back eats: Start your day strong with a breakfast buffet spread. Later, enjoy a selection of tapas-style snacks alongside a well-stocked bar featuring cocktails, beers, wines, and soft drinks. For other meals, choose something from the in-room dining menu, or explore the nearby quality restaurants.

  • Inviting accommodation: Rooms are sleek and cosy spaces with a pop of colour, modern art accents, and high-end touches, such as Nespresso machines and L’Occitane toiletries. Triple-glazed windows and a Swiss-made king-size bed ensure a restful night’s sleep. For its effortless approach to hospitality, the hotel is listed among the top ten hotels in Basel.

How to get there

The Passage is located in downtown Basel, close to the SBB train station and a range of other public transport links. The nearest airport is EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, which is around seven kilometres away (under a 15-minute car journey).

Location and what's nearby

Steinengraben 51, 4051 Basel, Switzerland

The Swiss city of Basel in the north-west of the country offers a rich mix of contrasts, with an ancient medieval core as well as some striking contemporary architecture, not forgetting the mighty Rhine river which flows through it. Head on a shopping spree on the Freie Strasse, get your fill of culture in the Kunstmuseum Basel with its vast art collection, or simply relax on the banks of the Rhine. Further city highlights include the botanical garden, the Beyeler Foundation, Basel Minster, Tinguely Fountain, and the 15th-century Gate of Spalen. It takes around half an hour to drive to the dreamy town of Lörrach in southern Germany, too, if you're after an adventure slightly further afield.
