Volkshaus Basel
What stands here today is both a very thorough update and a sensitive restoration. The long-hidden bones of the 1925 structure dictate the atmosphere, which indirectly recalls Bauhaus in its simplicity and its focus on livability. The 45 rooms are possessed of a warmth beyond the abilities of most contemporary designers, and the facilities are quietly state-of-the-art.
And the Volkshaus is still the people’s house, which means it’s much more than a hotel. There’s a brasserie, a bar, and a leafy courtyard, as well as a surplus of meeting and events space, and even a concert venue, whose reopening we eagerly await….

I was absolutely blown away. Being myself in construction, I was mesmerised by the great thought, precision between designers and contractors who have executed refurbishment of the hotel and the rooms. So much care has went into making sure the rooms are perfectly created. I was in room 301, and it was almost perfect! The floating apero drinks cart before the dinner is also a brilliant idea! I wish all hotels would use this one as an example in their work, aspiration in construction and use of near chains to make sure everything is levelled.
Un personnel très agréable, des chambres comfortables et calmes
