Hotel amenties and information
Hotel Description
A very warm welcome! Since 1929, we have been operating the 4 start GAIA Hotel - located just by Basel's main train station - with the motto "Come as a guest, leave as a friend!". Friendship begins here as soon as you arrive at reception, where we welcome you and adopt you as a friend of our establishment. The Geyer family has been running what was formerly known as the Hotel St. Gotthard in Basel; from October 1st 2015 it has been called the GAIA HOTEL. "GAIA" means "Mother Earth", who personifies the entire ecosystem of our planet. The name represents our commitment to doing our bit for the wellbeing, happiness and hope of future generations. You will therefore find that in the GAIA Hotel we provide exclusively regional organic and biodynamic products - in the minibar, as part of our conference services, and in the spa. Sustained sustainability, the comfort of a four-star hotel, modern technology - plus the warm hospitality from our family business: that's the GAIA Hotel in Basel in a nutshell!
