Apropos
      “Our Hotel – a second home”

                      Esteemed Guests,
        Dear Friends of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

                                           This hotel is like a second home to
                                           me – whenever I come here I feel the
                                           enchantment of its cozy familiarity;
                                           the magic you only sense in places
                                           near and dear to your heart. And
                                           although I grew up in Gstaad, I also
                                           have strong roots and feel at home
                                           in Basel and the tri-border region.

                                            When my father asked me whether
                                            I would like to be an ambassador
                                            for the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois,
                                            I accepted with pleasure. I am often
                                            referred to the hotel because the
                                            name Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois
                                            accompanies me as a trademark
                                            on my truck to national and inter-
national showjumping tournaments. It is a very rewarding task for me, as
an active showjumper, to introduce the hotel on the banks of the river
Rhine to the best riders in the world: I enjoy telling them about its rich
history and about my favourite places in the hotel, for example, the bar
with its fireplace. I find it fascinating that it is such a lively meeting place,
not only for the hotel guests from all over the world, but that it is also a
place where the people of Basel like to meet and enjoy the ambiance.
I also truly appreciate the friendliness of the hotel staff which is the very
basis of a successful culture of hospitality.

AUTUMN WINTER 2018-2019 - Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois
I am delighted that you have come to visit Basel and explore our city with
its wide-ranging and exciting cultural life. In the autumn and winter season
I particularly recommend that you visit the Herbstmesse (autumn fair) and
its Chachelimärt (pottery market) located next to the Petersplatz, just a
five-minute stroll away from the Les Trois Rois. The big wheel, which is at
the Münsterplatz during the autumn fair, is also very much worth a visit –
if the weather is fine you have a view over the whole city of Basel and the
tri-border region from the top.

I often think about the Les Trois Rois, particularly during the Christmas
season, when I am at the stable with my horses and admire the lovely
Christmas wreaths from the hotel’s flower boutique Fleurs des Rois. And I
also find the Christmas decorations as well as the huge Christmas trees in
front of the hotel quite stunningly beautiful.

The current autumn and winter programme will be useful for planning your
stay – it presents information on some of the major events that are going
on in the city. Basel is well worth a visit – the variety of experiences it offers
will ensure your stay is a memorable one. The whole Les Trois Rois team
and my family looks forward to welcoming you, your family and friends!

Dressing up as “Waggis”

                                                    The three kings have adorned
                                                    the hotel facade since 1754. As
                                                    our emblems, just before the
                                                    carnival starts, they are dressed
                                                    up as “Waggis”. The ceremony
                                                    commences at 10 in the morning
                                                    and is the prelude to a whole

    Parfum d’ambiance

There is scarcely anything that
touches us so vividly and leaves
such a strong impression on our
memories as scents. And winter-
time is the perfect season for
room scents and scented candles.
They transport us to other worlds
and arouse our emotions. In our
boutique you will find harmoniously
composed aromatic compositions
by superior brands such as Rose
et Marius, Christian Tortu and Cire
Trudon – and of course our in-house
scent by Feuerstein Essentials.
Succumb to the enchantment!

History
During the Prohibition the quality         Food pairing
of bathtub gin was very poor and           As an accompaniment to the bee’s
it was common to add honey or              knees cocktail we recommend
sugar to make the taste pleasanter.        caramelised goat’s cheese with
                                           walnuts and honey.
Blackwood Gin is generally very
complex and offers an extremely
multilayered aromatic profile.
Five of its thirteen botanicals are
from the Shetland Islands and
combined with coriander, wild
celery, cinnamon and turmeric
produce a veritable extravaganza
of aromas.
