The Euler is one of Switzerland's leading establishments with a worldwide reputation as a hotel of the highest standards. Built by Abraham Euler-Brunner in immediate vicinity of the new Basel Railway Station in 1865, the Hotel Euler has seen the rise of a new area and stood noble and strong through the ups and downs of history. The traditional hotel reflects its origin in the Belle Epoch and the early days of the Railway Age to this day. It was a famous journalist in the early nineteenth century that coined the phrase that has become Hotel Euler’s slogan: It's not a hotel; it's a way of life. Hotel Euler is located just opposite the railway station and near the city centre, providing excellent access to trams, underground and railway station. Motorway roads to Switzerland, Germany and France are close by. The distance to Basel airport is only 10 km.
