Courtyard by Marriott Basel  

On the outskirts of Basel in Pratteln, minutes from the city center and a stone’s throw from Aquabasilea. Close to Augusta Raurica, Jean Tinguely Museum, the Caricature and Cartoon Museum and Basel’s art scene. A 4-star, pet-friendly spa hotel vibe for travelers who want both city access and chill.
