The 19 best women-owned restaurants in Basel (2024)

Must have experience in the bar and lounge! Fantastic cocktails, known for their gin and tonics, but their mock tails are just as inventive and tasty! Decor is mesmerizing from the artwork, clocks, sofas, to the piano, fireplace and chandeliers. Just exquisite, service friendly and 5⭐️

The best location with rooms facing river Rhine, just a few steps from the old city with great bars and beautiful streets. Staff attentive and courteous. Rooms full of old charm and modern technology.

This is 5 star hotel that has earned every star. One of the best places we have stayed during all our travels through the years.Staff is exceptional in every way. Truly standard setting. Staff is as good as anywhere in the world. Location is premiere. As a bonus the bar turns out first rate handcrafted cocktails of the highest caliber. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant and again had a wonderful experience. This may all sound exaggerated, but this an absolute world class hotel.

I really enjoyed a stay here. And that is mostly because of the most welcoming and warm heated worker Claudio. He ensured the comfort of the stay of me and my friend and provided all the necessities. I am looking forward for my next stay and I hope Claudio will welcome us again.

Really love the place, we go there every year for our anniversary. The ambiance, the quality of the service, the fire place. We enjoy each time.This year we had 15-20 minutes wait at the reception it was very crowded but worth the wait.

Spending the beginning of the year with a fun dinner-dance parry with strangers who get wild on the dance floor after midnight.Impeccable service, not intrusive yet attentive. Breakfast, high tea, dinner, you will never get disappointed as the staff makes you feel truly at home.

Did not stay in the rooms. The bar and lounge were fabulous. Drinks, cocktails were so good. And the food was fabulous. Highly recommed!

Without a doubt, Les Trois Rois stands out as the finest hotel in Basel.Its rich history, breathtaking views, and exceptional service truly set it apart.I firmly believe that it is worth every penny spent, and I highly recommend experiencing this hotel at least once.The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine care, ensuring that guests feel at home throughout their stay.The recent renovations have been executed to the highest standards, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the hotel.The Brasserie not only offers exquisite dining options but also provides room service until midnight for your convenience.If you choose to stay here, I strongly advise booking a room with a river view - a decision you won't regret.

Can’t say enough! This place was gorgeous, and the service was amazing. Make sure to come during the piano playing hours, as that’s also a treat! Great drinks, a little pricy but worth it in my opinion

This is a great hotel. Very luxurious and excellent service. Every accommodation in the rooms have been thought of and carefully crafted with highest quality materials. The location was perfect for us with the public rail located right across the street. The staff are top of the class. The only thing I could ask for the owners to update their beds. The bed in our City King room was very too firm. I also would recommend not using external booking site but instead book directly with the hotel. Also verify you are booking directly with the hotel. We had a big fiasco with a booking period com site that the font desk helped work on.

We didn't stay here, but we ate lunch here and had a glass of port afterwards in the bar. It's a gorgeous property and the entire experience was wonderful. Not cheap, but wonderful. This place is so beautiful. You really need to visit and spend a little time experiencing it.

One of the best hotel experiences ever in my entire life.What a great hotel, the staff is unbelievable, everybody knew our names etc.the hotel felt like a dream come true, thank you to the whole team…

Made a reservation back in March for Sunday brunch at Les Troi Rois and after much anticipation the day finally arrived yesterday. Entered the hotel and turned right for the magnificent room that is the Salle Belle Epoch, where I have had brunch a couple of times. Was most surprised to be intervened by a staff member who informed me the brunch would be served in the Brasserie. Now the Brasserie is nice enough but it’s not the Salle Belle Epoch, where brunch has (afaik) typically been served for years. After we were seated in the Brasserie we of course were informed that the SBE is undergoing renovations etc – but we clearly should have been told this when we made our reservation. Also the format was different…no buffet but a la carte. And no piano in the Brasserie. It’s like booking first class and when you get there they say, “sorry you’re in Economy, first class is under renovation.” At the end the food was okay but there is not really any sense of “occasion” in the Brasserie and I was very disappointed for the 3 people in our group who (according to our earlier descriptions) were expecting something completely different. I felt like I’d missold them…when in fact it was me who was missold by omission by LTR. Food was okay. Our waitress Paula was super; very friendly and did a great job of managing what was a rather tightly set table for 5.

One of the best hotels I've ever experienced. Incredible service, mind-blowing food and attention to detail. LOVED our 2 nights there and would highly recommend it.

Fabulous Hotel, the staff and the service is amazing. I am not going to spoil the surprise of the little touches the Hotel does to make the stay stand out, but there is a reason it is a Leading Hotel of the World and 5 Star.Go, have dinner, drink on the terrace, have breakfast overlooking the Rhine, stay a while - your soul will thank you, your credit card may not :) :)

Der Brunch war der Hammer. Der service 1a, die Qualität herrvorragend und das Ambiente sehr schön. Sobald Reservationsfenster für Mai 2025 online ist, werde ich sofort 1 Tisch buchen. Ein Fensterplatz mit Aussicht Rhein ist wunderschön.(Translated by Google)The brunch was awesome. The service is top notch, the quality is excellent and the ambience is very nice. As soon as the reservation window for May 2025 is online, I will book 1 table immediately. A window seat with a view of the Rhine is beautiful.

We promised ourselves that we would stay at Hotel Les Trois Rois when we next came to Basel, and we are so glad that we did. The hotel is sumptuous old elegance, with refined quality finishes. It does not try, it simply is luxurious. Staff are welcoming, friendly, helpful and unpretentious. We have enjoyed the small touches at turndown service, the assistance and guidance of the concierge desk, and the attentiveness of the wait staff in the dining areas. This experience has been everything we hoped for and more. With beautiful views over the Rhine, we are having a glorious stay, which we will reflect on long after it is done.

Wonderful property rich in history. From the attentive yet unobtrusive service, to the rooms and the breakfast selection, everything is done excellently.

Wir waren am 22.6.24 und haben den Geburtstag meiner Frau gefeiert.Sehr gutes Essen. Super Service.Danke an das ganze Team 👍👍(Translated by Google)We visited on 6/22/24 and celebrated my wife's birthday.Very good food. Super Service.Thanks to the whole team 👍👍

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Les Trois Rois, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. This magnificent 5-star hotel located in the heart of Basel offers stunning views of the Rhine River. The recent renovations have truly enhanced the hotel's charm and elegance.The room I stayed in was beautifully appointed and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and luxurious retreat after a day of exploring the city. The staff at the reception were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was taken care of.One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast offered by the hotel. It was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from, including freshly baked pastries, fruits, and hot dishes. It was the perfect way to start each day of my stay.Overall, my experience at Hotel Les Trois Rois was nothing short of exceptional. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Basel. Many thanks to the staff for their hospitality and for making my stay truly unforgettable. Best regards, #B4YOUDISCOVERY

Just loved my 3 night stay here - what can I say Wow!!If ever you are in Basel this is the only place you should stay. Located on the Rhine River in the very heart of the Old town.Rooms and suites are charming with modern conveniences of the 21st century.Their Restaurant and Bar offerings are better than anything else in Basel. Food, wines and cocktails are exceptional.Sit on the Terrace watching and listening to the Rhine swish by or indulge in the exceptional food. Oh and did I mention their Cigar Bar!

Perfekt um den Alltag bei einem Afternoon Tea zu vergessen. Auch wenn's draußen regnet, geniesst man drinnen in der Lobby feine Leckereien. Man hat eine riesige Auswahl von Tee und wird dabei gut vom freundlichen Service kompetent beraten. Ein schönes Geschenk, wenn man sonst keine Wünsche mehr hat.(Translated by Google)Perfect for forgetting about everyday life with an afternoon tea. Even if it's raining outside, you can enjoy delicious treats inside in the lobby. You have a huge selection of tea and receive good advice from the friendly service. A nice gift if you don't have any other wishes.

A mind-blowing brasserie. Unforgettable meals with a beautiful view of the Rhine in the heart of Basel.

we came here just for the bar, and it was 10/10. there’s an open fire with large windows overlooking the river. the bartenders knowledge of the drinks was amazing, and they all tasted insane. the burger is definitely to be recommended, simple ingredients with a delicious sauce that will make you want to come back just to have it again

Fantastic experience on the terrace. All guests, including the dog, were pampered by the incredibly friendly staff. It may come with a high price, but it's absolutely worth the experience.

We took some hot chocolate in the terrace.Very beautiful place with a great location.The service was really nice but not the chocolate.I’m quite surprised as I took a 72% cocoa hot chocolate but it tasted really fade, without almost even any chocolate flavor.So I recommend the place but definitely not the hot chocolate.

Nous y étions pour le brunch du dimanche, pour la 2ème foisC'est fabuleux, brunch au champagne, servi à table, sucré/salé/chaud/froid, tout était parfait, service classe, et bon rapport qualité/prix(Translated by Google)We were there for Sunday brunch, for the 2nd timeIt's fabulous, champagne brunch, served at the table, sweet/salty/hot/cold, everything was perfect, classy service, and good value for money

We just went for a drink at the bar overlooking the river. Great place, location, service etc. but prices are very expensive, even for these types of places. Nearly 30 chf for a gin and tonic is a excessive!

Best Hotel I’ve ever stayed in, location, hospitality, services, breakfast. All employees were exceptional very professional, welcoming with a lovely smile, specially Sebastian from reception. Definitely coming back

5 star +++++++If I could leave more stars I would. This hotel is outstanding in friendliness, service, food and location. The vibe is upscale elegance with exquisite attention to detail. From the moment we arrived to the time we sadly had to leave, our experience was impeccable. I never take the time to leave reviews but I was compelled to share this experience!

Spent NYE there & and lunch on 1st January. It was very stylish. Staff are very friendly and we had the apple caramel cake of the day which is out of this world. It makes youforget all your worries :)

Wow. This hotel blends elegance with service. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and might even travel to do so. My only regret is that I only stayed here one night.

If you’re looking to grab a coffee in the afternoon, be seated, and then ignored for 25 minutes before being rudely told to wait when you ask for service, this is the place for you. I’ve been visiting this spot for the past nine years, and it’s disappointing to see the decline in service year after year. After a long break from this hotel, I was reminded today why I stopped coming. The service is not only rude but also indifferent and condescending. We ended up leaving without receiving any service at all.

Lovely place full of history. The service excelent. Loved the terrace with view on the river, nice place for a coffe and cake, little bit pricey but what isnt in Basel :) (26chf) still worth visiting!

Absolument divin. Personnel exceptionnel. Chambre hors concours et un petit-déjeuner raffinée dans un cadre magnifique qui donne sur le rhin et la reinbrucke. Le bar et sa cheminée remarquable. Tout est doux, classe, fin.J ai vécu un pur bonheur pour la première nuit de carnaval.Merci(Translated by Google)Absolutely divine. Exceptional staff. Outstanding room and a refined breakfast in a magnificent setting overlooking the Rhine and the Reinbrucke. The bar and its remarkable fireplace. Everything is soft, classy, ​​fine. I experienced pure happiness on the first night of carnival. Thank you

What can I say. High class, extreme luxury, everyone is extrem friendly and the location is perfect. Everything was just perfect and has been the last 15 years. The lounge was as always a very relaxing and comfortable room to wait, read newspaper or chat. On top of that, the staff is very friendly and the Concierge has great recommendations for Restaurants and last minute alternative ideas and locations. Thank you for the great memories!

We had the Sunday Champagne Brunch. It’s fabulous, outstanding table service… extraordinary!Classy! sucré/salé/chaud/froid! Everything en point!

Beautiful room with river view and a big terrace. They had put a crib for my baby and even a station to change the diapers in our room. Staff is very nice and professional. We had dinner at la brasserie, where the food is excellent. I put 4 stars and not 5 because I would have loved if the hotel would have a spa

Very bad experience!!! Full on discrimination and humiliating service as my mother and I (both of colour) were refused twice that same evening, access to the terrasse for a drink, mentioned as overbooked from the bar male employee. Only the inner bar space was available for us. My father (white) tried again alone, obtaining directly a table in the terrace for the three of us, from another employee. The space outside was not even half full and quiet as ever!!! Last August 2023...Being my 50th birthday then , I choose to report this horrific and unacceptable experience from a "palace" only now, not to spoil my special moment that night (thankfully amazing with an Italian diner next door just before).
