This gem of a family owned hotel is set in verdant, English style gardens with a stream, green lawns and chaise longues for sunbathing, and a year round pool! The birds' singing and the greenery makes it an oasis while traveling. It is a mere 5 minute walk from the tram into Basel, Switzerland! It has none of the 'plastic' qualities of the chain hotels, a great fresh, French breakfast, and an awesome chef for dinner! The owner is a third generation hotelier in the same location and speaks several languages including excellent English.
