Architecture Diener & Diener
The building features a passage that connects two streets, as well as a statement staircase that unites all six floors. A sky-high bar overlooks the city, while many guestrooms offer terraces, and the lobby absorbs the bustle of the Steinenvorstadt outside through large windows framed by oak wood.
Interior design Andrea Caputo, Salomé Fäh
The interior is a work of art itself with natural woods, stone, marble, and furnishings by Vitra, Abacus, Artek, Santa & Cole, KNS, Living Divani, and more. A Japanese touch is subtly present, as are mementos from designer Salomé Fäh’s worldly adventures.

Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
The hotel was built according to Swiss Minergie standards using sustainable natural stone. During excavation, building remains were discovered, excavated, and archived by the Basel City Archaeology Department.
The hotel recycles waste, uses refillable toiletries, and chooses natural products instead of plastics wherever possible.
Due to the Swiss Minergie standard, the building requires far less energy. Energy-efficient devices and LED lighting are used in most cases. Instead of AC, the hotel installed an efficient ventilation system.
Tap water is clean and drinkable in Switzerland. In addition to in-room taps, a water system is installed in the first-floor lounge so that guests can always access filtered water.
The hotel works with regional partners to offer local products whenever possible. Most of the breakfast buffet consists of regional and organic goods.
Cultural collaborations are on offer, including a program of art exhibitions that showcase the work of local artists.
Thanks to a cooperation with Basel Tourism, guests are given a BaselCard, which offers discounts on many cultural and recreational activities.
The BaselCard allows guests to use public transportation free of charge throughout their stay, including travel to the hotel. The property is easily accessed via public transportation. E-bikes are also available to guests during their stay.
Art House Basel offers fair working conditions regarding hours, health, safety, and training opportunities and has a flat hierarchy to motivate employees to take on more responsibility.
