Grand Hotel les Trois Rois

The staff provides exceptional, attentive service and a warm welcome. Guests appreciate the delightful breakfast and the scenic river view.

I visited Hotel Les Trois Rois during Art Basel, expecting high standards of hospitality, safety, and professionalism. Instead, I encountered a deeply misogynistic and discriminatory attitude, particularly from the hotel security staff. This hotel is shockingly unfriendly towards women. Any man can make even the slightest comment about a woman—guest or visitor—and security will immediately side with the man without investigating or listening to the woman’s side of the story. It was alarming to witness such blind favoritism and bias. This kind of outdated, patriarchal behavior has no place in modern Switzerland, let alone in a hotel that markets itself as "luxury" and "world-class." The behavior I observed from staff was not just dismissive but completely unprofessional and unacceptable. As a woman, I did not feel safe, welcome, or respected. It felt like stepping into another era—one where a woman’s word meant nothing and male guests held all the power, no matter how inappropriate or unfounded their behavior was. If you value equality, dignity, and respectful treatment, I urge you to stay elsewhere. Art Basel brings international visitors who expect a cosmopolitan level of service. Les Trois Rois failed spectacularly on that front. This is not just a bad hotel experience—it's a shame for Swiss hospitality as a whole. Avoid this hotel if you're a woman traveling alone, with friends, or simply someone who believes in fair treatment.
