Marriott has opened a hotel in the Swiss city of Basel, located in the city centre.

Formerly The Swissôtel Le Plaza Basel under Accor, the hotel reopened this month as the Marriott Basel following an extensive renovation.

The Swissotel property opened in 1984 but closed in November 2020 due to the pandemic.

The newly renovated Marriott Basel is directly connected to the Congress Centre and is close to the medieval Old Town.

Its 239 rooms and suites feature a workspace and high-speed wifi, and the design includes natural elements and earth tones.

The hotel includes the Swiss debut of the German-based Heritage restaurant, which includes an outdoor terrace and offers sharing plates.

Further facilities include a spa, sauna and fitness centre, as well as nine meeting rooms and an M Club Lounge – the latter is designed for guests staying in the Club Rooms and includes complimentary food and non-alcoholic drinks.
