Sustainable hotel experiences:
Basel is a pocket-sized metropolis. The distances are short and the cultural offerings are huge. Over 40 museums, including the world-famous Kunstmuseum, offer something for every taste. Or how about a walk along the Rhine, where countless restaurants and cafés invite you to linger a while? Either way, the GAIA Hotel is the ideal starting point: centrally located, yet quiet, and the spa area promises the best relaxation after an extended stroll through the city.

Since 1929 our family Geyer runs the former Hotel St. Gotthard Basel, which is called GAIA HOTEL since October 1, 2015. The hotel is managed in 4th generation by the two sisters Natalie Durrer-Geyer and Selinda Geyer. The birth of Selinda's daughter in 2015 inspired the sisters to realign the hotel and make sustainability the focus of the family business. "GAIA" means "Mother Earth" and thus embodies the entire ecosystem of our planet. This name is a commitment for us to make our direct contribution to the well-being, happiness and hopeful future of generations to come.Location & Arrival
