Der Teufelhof

Top choice in Basel


One for lovers of art and design, ‘The Devil’s Court’ self-bills as a 'guest and culture' house. It comprises two slick, themed hotels – the nine-room avant-garde Art hotel and larger Gallery hotel (in a former convent), each styled with high-end, locally made Vitra furnishings.

It has two excellent restaurants: the gourmet-calibre Bel Étage and less-formal Atelier, as well as a small theatre and a wine cellar.
