Fodor's Expert Review Nomad Design & Lifestyle Hotel

This urban-chic, centrally located hotel (from the same owners as the Krafft) with a young and lively vibe offers design-conscious rooms and a casual eatery with cocktail bar that attracts stylish locals and visitors. Spacious guest rooms either have all-concrete floors and walls with accents of wood and bright colors ("Urban Club Rooms") or bright woven carpets with mod leather furnishings ("Design Rooms"); all feature sleek black tile bathrooms. Urban Club rooms come with access to the Library Club, a lounge where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, tea and cakes in the afternoon, and drinks at night, as well as work if they need to. The gym has a small, though high-quality, range of equipment as well as a sauna, and free hotel bikes can be used to explore Basel. In the evening, the cocktail bar/lobby is the place to chill.
