The renovation of our annexe at Blumenrain 2 marks the beginning of the newest chapter in our hotel’s history and is a testament to our motto ‘Rich in History, Young at Heart’. This chapter will bring with it numerous new features that will greatly enhance the hotel experience for our guests. Spacious suites and an exclusive spa area on the top floor will leave guests feeling revitalised, and a versatile event space and an impressive Salon du Cigare will become the setting for new culinary and cultural trends and highlights.
But rest assured that while the annexe is receiving its makeover, our main building will remain ready to welcome you, and our team will be on hand to ensure you receive the full Les Trois Rois five-star experience. Whether you choose to dine in our gourmet restaurant Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl or the Brasserie, or to unwind on our exclusive terrace overlooking the Rhine or in our stylish bar, the experience will be true delight for the senses.
We are excited to be working with renowned Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron, and you can find regular updates on how the project in progressing here. And we are certain it won’t be too long until the excitement gets to you as well and you will be awaiting the finished results of the new, elegant interior that is currently taking shape at Schifflände just as eagerly as we are!
The renovation commences. We have utilized the second half of the year 2023 to prepare the main building at Blumenrain 2 – ready for a new way of life that engages all senses. This means: The entire building has been gutted because where something new emerges, the old must become history. This allowed measures to be initiated, providing an initial impression of the new spaces at Blumenrain 2. The new spa, the spacious rooms and suites, as well as the new event location – the groundwork has been laid for all of these, ensuring that visions become reality.
The construction net is hanging. And because we are not an ordinary hotel, we did not want to settle for an ordinary construction net. The installation of oversized posters is the perfect opportunity to convey the future atmosphere of Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois and to show what lies behind the walls and scaffolding cladding in the future: a place where effortless elegance touches all the senses. The realization of such a project requires meticulous preparation, the result now impressively hangs on the facade. Take the time to look at the pictures and interpret the messages for yourself. A behind-the-scenes can be found here.
Chapter 3
The topping-out ceremony is a significant milestone in any construction process, including that of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. In Switzerland, the topping-out ceremony marks the completion of the shell of the building and honors the work of everyone involved. As tradition dictates, we have also decorated a topping-out tree for this occasion to celebrate the progress of the construction. Anticipation is growing, as an important room is soon to be completed—the Salon du Cigare. This is a passion project of the renowned architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, involving meticulous craftsmanship, great attention to detail, and the utmost care. Stay tuned, as we will soon provide a first glimpse.
