Over 40 Years Ago the Drachen Hotel Opened Its Doors in
   the First Shopping Centre in Basel. Even Then, Drachen
   Was Considered One of the Most Modern Houses. During the
   Previous Decades Renovations Have Taken Place With the
   Last Renovations in 2001 and 2002.

   All 43 Rooms and Junior Suites Have Recently Been Covered
   With Wall-Paintings from a Group of 14 Spanish Artists
   Under the Motto Wonders of the Modern and Ancient World.
   The Scenes Move Through Europe from Paris To Venice Over
   To Mexico, Over To the Taj Mahal, China To Alexandria.

   On the Technical Side of Things the Hotel Drachen Has
   Also Moved With the Times. Each Room is Fitted With
   Cable-Television On a 70 Cm Flat Screen, Has Isdn
   Telephones, Internet Connections Plus Safe Box and
   Minibar. Each Room Has Either a Shower or a Bath With
   Toilette. The Furniture Has Been Specially Designed For
   Each Room in Maple Wood.

   Due To the Wall-Paintings Our Hotel is Now an Open-Secret
   Amongst Visitors Interested in Art and Architecture. When
   Asked, Our Business Guests Admit How Easy It is To Close
   the Doors On the Daily Business Stress and Relax in Our
   Comfortable Rooms.

   But Not Only Does Hotel Drachen Offer you Culture, So
   Does the Town Basel Itself. In Fact, With More Than 50
   Museums /Many of International Renown/, Basel Boosts the
   Most Dense Gathering in Europe.
   This Property Was Built in 1959
   Renovated in 2002.
