If you’re travelling by train from Milan to Basel, you’re in for a scenic ride through Zurich, Lucerne, Como and more.

Whether you’re soaking in the views by train or zipping over in a taxi, your Basel adventure deserves a stay as stylish as the city itself at ART HOUSE Basel.Â
ART HOUSE Basel, the best luxury hotel in Basel, would have a masterpiece to share if its walls could talk. And if you’re exploring the best cities to visit in Europe, Basel deserves a spot on your itinerary. Set in Steinenvorstadt — once Kinostrasse for its legendary cinemas — this boutique stay is a chic blend of art, architecture and urban cool.
A love letter to art and cinema
With a bold Alcántara Black stone façade designed by Diener & Diener, the exterior mirrors the historic music hall and movie theater across the street. Inside, Andrea Caputo and Salomé Fäh have crafted a space where minimalist elegance meets warmth. The Window offers a glimpse of the passage between Steinenbachgässlein and Steinenvorstadt — because why should art be confined to a frame? With deep ties to art, design and creativity it’s a place where history comes alive and every guest gets to play a part in the creative heritage making ART HOUSE Basel stand out as one of the best luxury hotels in Basel.
Sustainability meets style
Built to Swiss Minergie standards, the hotel champions eco-living with energy-efficient lighting, locally sourced materials and refillable amenities.
