Project
"Les Trois Rois is characterized by elegant classical architecture and French flair. The now completely redesigned main building on the Schifflände is inspired by French classicism while also incorporating new modern elements, such as unaccustomed combinations of materials and surprising lights and colors. Each floor is its own uniquely designed environment with rooms for public urban life and spaces for calming relaxation and intimacy for the hotel guest," says architect Jacques Herzog, founding partner of Herzog & de Meuron, about the remodeling of this historic building.
It is part of the Grand Hôtel Les Trois Rois ensemble located directly on the Rhine with suites, a spa predicated on Japanese philosophy, adaptable rooms for celebrations, conferences and banquets, as well as the BANKS restaurant and a cigar lounge, The Council. In addition to these interior areas, our lighting design also includes the new outdoor illumination of the entire Grand Hôtel ensemble. It is one of the oldest city hotels in Europe.
