Pedrazzini Experience at the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois: unrivaled experiences
Pedrazzini Experience at the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois: unrivaled experiences
The motorboats from Swiss boat builder Pedrazzini in Bäch in the canton of Schwyz are the crème de la crème when it comes to watersports. The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is now bringing one of these legendary boats onto the river Rhine in Basel. It will be a truly royal encounter, which will guarantee unique experiences exclusively for the hotel’s guests.
This makes several things truly remarkable. Firstly, the boat. It is the 10.3-meter-long “Special” model from Pedrazzini. In this boat, everything is crafted carefully and lovingly by hand and made from the finest materials. And that’s not all: the boat is also perfectly fitted out. Thus, it can cater to all tastes, offering everything from a sporting experience to romantic moments. It belongs to Thomas Straumann, owner of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, who is now making the exclusive Pedrazzini Experience available to the hotel’s guests.
Secondly, the Rhine. Seeing a Pedrazzini boat on the river in Basel is extraordinary enough in itself – although this section of the river is perfectly located in the region where Switzerland, Germany and France meet. The Pedrazzini Experience now makes it possible to get to know the beautiful environment in a new and exciting way. Whether it’s the romantic wetlands in the direction of the Alsace, the impressive cityscape of historic Basel or the pretty stretch of river on the way to Rheinfelden – here, Mediterranean watersports and the wild charm of Europe’s lifeline merge to create pure pleasure.
Thirdly, the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. The outstanding services and award-winning creations of this venerable hotel with a long history make the Pedrazzini Experience unforgettable. Naturally this also includes a stay in the rooms and suites at the hotel, situated directly on the Rhine.
And, after a summer excursion on the Rhine, what could be better than enjoying the creations of chef Peter Knogl in the three-star Cheval Blanc restaurant before capping off the evening on the bar terrace?
Another remarkable local “specialty” is the experience of swimming in the Rhine directly in the city of Basel. Rhine swimming has become a fixed Basel tradition that has gained international fame. Of course, it is also possible with the Pedrazzini Experience: in some parts of the Rhine, you can simply relax and cool down in the river.
And for anyone on the lookout for a special hide-away, we have the perfect insider tip: exclusive catering in the newest of the “fishing gallows” (“Fischergalgen”) on the Rhine. This is the term used in Basel for the romantic huts situated directly on the water that are used by the locals – as the name suggests – for fishing. They are part and parcel of Basel’s cityscape. The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois can therefore give its guests access to an exclusive experience that is otherwise only available to a select few living in Basel.
From May 1 to September 30 the hotel also offers the “Exclusive Summer in the City” package, where guests experience pure elegance and Mediterranean flair right in the middle of the Swiss capital for art and culture. With this package guests will be indulged on land and water. The hotel’s partner, the Niki Hasler Garage – one of the world’s leading Ferrari retailer – will show them on a private tour their newest Ferrari model as well as their classic cars. Guests can enjoy a test drive afterwards. Culinary delights from the hotel’s chef de cuisine will complete the visit. The next morning is all about the element of water, enjoying the feeling of floating down the Rhine in one of the best motorboats of our time with the Pedrazzini-Experience of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. Timeless, elegant, perfect.
