Napoleon Suite
Although Napoleon never really laid his weary head to rest here, this splendid suite is a reminder of the pomp and ceremony of a bygone era when the ambitious young general - and later emperor of France - hosted a lavish state dinner in the dining room of the old inn in Basel back in 1797. The decor with its elaborate plastering and beautifully painted ceilings and walls is in the style of Nouveau Louis XVI. The magnificent corner salon - in lime green, with painted relief medallions and gilded ornaments - is the epitome of luxury and supreme comfort.
