Basel's Old Town, on the banks of the Rhine, is where this 17th-century grande dame has a fresh edge courtesy of Herzog & de Meuron, who reimagined parts of the historic annexe with bolder tones and romantic detail. Three Michelin-starred Cheval Blanc, a rooftop Japanese bathhouse-inspired spa, and a cigar lounge for late nights. Formal, but never fussy.

Order up a big trolley of breakfast goods – poached eggs on toast, fluffy pancakes, fresh juice. And tea and coffee come in pretty mugs.
10:09 AM
We love a morning spa – it sets you up for the day. Spend time time in the sauna and relaxing by the fire.
12:43 PM
It’s a 10-minute walk to this Basel classic. To order from the Italian menu: beef carpaccio, ricotta and spinach ravioli, veal escalope, and a special dessert trolly.
2:51 PM
An afternoon of art (it's what the capital is known for after all....). Fondartion Beyeler and the Kunstmuseum Basel should be on your list.
4:21 PM
Sure, this would feel more fitted to London, but the hotel puts on a pretty nice spread of finger sandwiches and sweet treats with views over the Rhine. Happy indulging…
8:00 PM
Go for a Michelin-starred dinner at Cheval Blanc. Reservations are essential, and you must dress to impress. Then, head to the bar for a nightcap.
