Boutique & Design Hotel Volkshaus Basel (Basel, Switzerland) 10 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"It’s something of a surprise to see the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron named in a boutique-hotel project. Outside of Switzerland, the firm is better known for large-scale projects like stadiums and museums. But Volkshaus Basel, while it’s not a football stadium, has been central to this city’s public life for centuries, and to adapt it for use as a hotel was no small task. Once a castle, later a brewery, still later a concert hall and office complex, it’s a site with a history that demands preservation." - Tablet Hotels
