Volkshaus Basel

For those interested in encounters, enjoyment, architecture, art and culture, the Volkshaus Basel is the heart of Basel. Hospitality, cosmopolitanism, tradition and innovation characterise its values. Situated in the middle of the urban and lively district of Kleinbasel and filled with pulsating content, Volkshaus Basel has made a name for itself since 1925 as an institution for gastronomy, events and the hotel industry: it stands for culinary enjoyment, sustainable recreation, impressive architecture, inspiring art and encounters that will be remembered. Employees with heart and soul shape the personal service culture throughout the hotel and let guests feel the maxim of their motivation every day: to give joy, to experience joy.


With 45 rooms and suites designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the Volkshaus Basel hosts a hotel concept since the end of March 2021 that gives guests a feeling of “being at home” through timeless elegance and practical functionality – coupled with exciting art projects.
