Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois
"Les Trois Rois is characterized by elegant, classical architecture and French flair. The completely reimagined building on Schifflände is inspired by this French classicism, but also incorporates new elements in a contemporary language: these include unusual combinations of materials, and surprising light and color. Each floor is a uniquely designed experiential world, offering space for public, urban life as well as places where the hotel guest can find a sense of calm, relaxation, and intimacy," says architect Jacques Herzog, founding partner of Herzog & de Meuron, about the remodeling of this historic building.
It is part of the Grand Hôtel Les Trois Rois ensemble located directly on the Rhine with suites, a spa predicated on Japanese philosophy, adaptable rooms for celebrations, conferences and banquets, as well as the BANKS restaurant and a cigar lounge, The Council. In addition to these interior areas, our lighting design also includes the new outdoor illumination of the entire Grand Hôtel ensemble. It is one of the oldest city hotels in Europe.
