Hotel D

A boutique hotel with a minimalist approach to design, Hotel D has a handy central location not far from the river and the shopping streets of the Old Town. The modern design will appeal to the urbane traveller who likes something original that still feels inviting; thoughtful touches include L’Occitane toiletries, free wifi and a continental buffet breakfast. With just 48 rooms and suites, Hotel D is relatively small and the facilities are similarly compact: the fitness studio doesn’t offer much choice of machines and wellness extends only to a sauna. There’s also no in-house bar and restaurant. However, with downtown Basel on your doorstep, this chic little hotel is perfect for business and city breaks.
