Since its splendid reopening that same year, the Grand Hotel on the Rhine’s knee has been a continual talking point, with multiple award-winning restaurants and a great of passion and dedication to its guests not just from the region, but from all over the world.

As a delighted Tanja Wegmann, General Manager, explained at the award ceremony in Paris, ‘it is an invaluable acknowledgement of the efforts made every day by the team at Les Trois Rois to offer our guests only the very best in all areas’. The Basel team together with Livia Leu, Switzerland’s Ambassador to France and daughter of Swiss hotel legend Hans Leu, stepped up to accept the highly coveted award.
