Hotel Euler und Central

Frommer's Review

This hotel offers everything you'd expect from a grand hotel in Basel. Built in 1865 near the railroad station, it's elegantly detailed in white, with gray-stone half columns. The bedrooms are luxuriously paneled and impeccable, having housed everyone from Greta Garbo to Elizabeth Taylor over the years. Rooms have traditional styling with original paintings, some period furnishings, and spacious closets. All the bathrooms are maintained in excellent condition with heated towel racks. The chandeliered dining room, Le Jardin, serves first-class dinners. The cuisine is mainly French with a lot of fish and a changing menu that takes advantage of the best of seasonal produce. The famous bar is richly ornamented with leather, wood, and red velvet, and is a favorite of visiting businesspeople and local bankers.
