Kunsthotel Sfr180-748; )
'The Devil's Court' fuses two hotels into one. The Kunsthotel's
nine rooms have varying colour schemes, parquet floors and crisp white bedding. The lar-
ger Galeriehotel annexe, a former convent, is more about stylish everyday design, but the
rooms vary considerably in size and atmosphere. An excellent restaurant caps it all off.
HOTEL STADTHOF $
( 061 261 87 11;

;
Gerbergasse 84; s/d Sfr80/130)
You'll need to book ahead at
this spartan but decent central hotel. Set above a pizzeria on an Old Town square, the nine
rooms are squeaky clean (with shared loo and shower) and the owners of this centuries-
old building are very friendly.

Set in a quiet street, it looks like a typical cosy tavern but is an exquisite haven for

For a special experience, head to these converted waterworks beside a quiet
stream. The atmosphere is glam post- industrial. The food is Tuscan, and Basel's beautiful
people drink in the attached lounge bar.
