Rheingasse in Transition
Whoever stays at Hotel Krafft finds themselves right in the heart of Kleinbasel – directly on the historic Rheingasse. This street is currently writing a new chapter in its long history:
Beneath the pavement, the city is renewing its lifelines – water pipes, sewage, energy, and district heating. Above ground, the space is being redesigned: more open, inviting, and fully dedicated to pedestrian life. The construction work will move through the street in stages until 2027.
What does this mean for you as our guest?
-
Access to Hotel Krafft is guaranteed at all times.
-
Pedestrians can always pass through the Rheingasse.
-
The lively character of the street with its restaurants, bars, and events will remain – even during the construction period.
-
Important Basel events such as Fasnacht, Vogel Gryff, or the Adväntsgass are firmly scheduled. During these occasions, construction will come to a halt.
-
Access by car may at times be difficult or not possible. Please contact us in advance if needed – we will be happy to assist you.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, we are always glad to provide up-to-date information. We look forward to continuing to welcome you.
Just as the Rheingasse has been shaped by change for centuries, this renewal also becomes part of its history. For you, this means a stay at the Krafft on the Rhine – right in the middle of a street that is shaping its future without losing its soul.
