โรงแรมแกรนด์ เลทรัวส์รัวส์

We stayed here the night before our river cruise departure. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The breakfast and lunch were amazing.it was fun to watch the chef's preparing food. Next time, we'll plan a meal at their Michelin rated restaurant. Our suite was large, comfortable, and had an amazing view of the river. We watched the Basel Tatoo parade from our balcony.

When we travel, we always select an historic hotel with lots of local charm and history. This was the basis of our selection of this property for a two night stay prior to a river boat cruise. On that note, this hotel delivers. It's a beautiful property in the city center with gorgeous views of the Rhine. We selected a king balcony room with a view of the river. The flowers in the foyer are spectacular and we really enjoyed the evening that we ate at the Brasserie. So why 3 stars? We found that the staff seemed stuffy and not empowered to address guest issues. Our issue was with our room rate upon check-in. They claimed we booked for 1 person and not for 2, resulting in an additional 110 SF for a second person in the room per night. We thought we had it resolved only to discover we did not when checking out. The hotel also had an error in our credit card data, which would have made it impossible for us to book the room online, adding to my suspicion that the data error was theirs and not mine. Upon my objection and a call to 'corporate', they offered only a 30 SF reduction per night. I expected them to believe their guest and not insist on any additional charge, particularly since there was no breakfast or other actual expense (washing an extra towel?) to the hotel of a second person in a king room. The issue left me feeling the victim of a 'bait and switch' on the room rate --- which was in excess of 800 SF a night in any case. Had we known this would be their attitude, we would have chosen to have lunch and dinner at another location instead of giving them the additional business. Sadly, it started our holiday off on the wrong note and instead of remembering the beautiful property, our memory is of their inability to put guests first, particularly when it doesn't create any additional cost on their end. If this hotel wants to be 'young at heart', they're going to need to be less rigid and not make guests feel uncomfortable for pointing out an error in their booking information and then being insistent on charging them for it.

Very bad experience!!! Full on discrimination and humiliating service as my mother and I (both of colour) were refused twice that same evening, access to the terrasse for a drink, mentioned as overbooked from the bar male employee. Only the inner bar space was available for us. My father (white) tried again alone, obtaining directly a table in the terrace for the three of us, from another employee. The space outside was not even half full and quiet as ever!!! Last August 2023...Being my 50th birthday then , I choose to report this horrific and unacceptable experience from a "palace" only now, not to spoil my special moment that night (thankfully amazing with an Italian diner next door just before).

Great place for a very expensive drink on the terrace over the river! The food served at the Brasserie is also excellent. Impeccable service and style combined in a polite and welcoming atmosphere. Well worth a visit when you want to treat yourself or someone special.

This is a 5 star hotel in a beautiful grand old building with 5 star service and food - and prices. There’s little to find fault with but I will anyway…. Maybe the air conditioner in the room could have been better and I’d prefer it if I wasn’t surrounded by smokers while eating on the terrace- but that’s the best I can come with…. I recommend this place but bring a decent credit card and don’t look at the prices!
