GRAND HOTEL LES TROIS ROIS 5*
Basel
Dating back to 1681, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel is one of Europe’s oldest hotel properties. Overlooking the banks of the river Rhein, the hotel was ideally positioned on a major trade route. One of its earliest illustrious guests is believed to have been Napoléon Bonaparte, who held a business lunch when he met here with the authority of Basel to discuss French-Swiss relations in 1798. Today's guests are less interested in trade routes, but the hotel's riverfront rooms remain much-coveted, especially during the annual Art Basel, when guests book up to one year in advance. World travelers know that this scenic Swiss town is beloved year-round and famous for its art, architecture, and cultural highlights.

"Epic Europe has coordinated several corporate events for us over the past 5 years, and I cannot imagine a more professional operation to handle all of the details. From a team-building event for 50 people in a 17th-century castle atop a mountain pass, to marketing conferences and catalog shoots, their knowledge of the best locations in the Alps is second-to-none, and they are as good as it gets at being creative." - E.P., Lugano CH
