Gasthof zum Goldenen Sternen
Tap a star to rate
Zum Goldenen Sternen has stood on the Rhine's bank since 1412, making it Basel's oldest inn and one of Switzerland's most storied hospitality addresses. The timber-framed medieval building wraps around intimate courtyards and banquet halls that have hosted centuries of celebrations, yet the kitchens run modern and the service stays attentive. Dining here means literally breaking bread in the same rooms where Renaissance merchants sealed deals.
The venue captivates couples who want authentic history, not a reproduction themed to look old. The Sternen doesn't need marketing because the year 1412 speaks for itself. If your family's rooted in Basel or you're drawn to venues where every stone holds real stories, this gasthaus delivers both a setting and a narrative. The riverside location in the old town means your guests arrive walking through centuries, not a parking lot.
