MEETINGS & EVENTS
We create experiences that linger in the memory. The sense of wonder as you take your first step into the Festsaal. The relaxed laughter during the aperitif in the tree-lined courtyard. The goosebumps as the lights slowly dim in the Unionsaal and the applause begins.
Historic halls, state-of-the-art technology and a passionate in-house catering team form our stage – your event is the story. We bring it to life with an eye for detail, a flair for creating atmosphere and the experience of over 100 years of hospitality in the heart of Basel.
Tell us what you want your guests to feel – not how many square metres you need. We’ll take care of the rest. It’s simple: just click the ‘Offer Request’ button – we’ll respond personally, promptly and with anticipation.
