Largest city garden in the cultural metropolis of Basel
The Hotel Odelya is located just a few steps away from the historic old town. This historic city hotel combines the charm of times gone by with modern amenities. The highlight of the hotel? The largest private garden in Basel, which serves as a green oasis of peace and relaxation.
Historic flair and modern amenities
The Hotel Odelya is located in a historic building that has been lovingly restored to offer guests a unique atmosphere. The beautifully furnished, modern and spacious rooms promise a restful night's sleep. Whether individual travelers, families, business travelers or groups - everyone will find the right arrangement here. The most famous resident of the Mission House was Herman Hesse, who spent his childhood at the Basel Mission from 1881 to 1886. The Hermann Hesse room is one of the most popular in the hotel.
A green oasis in the middle of the city
The spacious park of the Hotel Odelya is a retreat in the middle of the bustling city of Basel. Numerous park benches invite you to linger in an intact, natural environment. Various types of vegetables and herbs thrive in the adjacent natural garden. Guests can take a walk through the park during their next stay or enjoy a break in the greenery. Seminars can also be held spontaneously under the 150-year-old plane trees in the natural garden. The Hotel Odelya is happy to assist with the rapid implementation of such projects.
Close to nature Sustainable Local
The Hotel Odelya focuses on sustainability and local added value. The building dating back to 1860 was constructed exclusively by local craftsmen. The new building was also constructed according to ecological criteria and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. A photovoltaic system, district heating, heat recovery and other measures help to keep energy consumption as low as possible. Only local wood and natural, biodegradable paints were used in the construction.
The hotel's food and residual waste is processed into biogas, and regional producers are predominantly used when purchasing food. Fruits and vegetables are grown in the hotel's own organic garden to enrich the menu. The garden is also home to rare plants and provides a habitat for rhinoceros beetles, dragonflies and numerous bird species in the middle of the city. Guests can take part in guided tours of the garden and discover this diversity.

Here, guests can enjoy culinary delights prepared largely from ingredients from the hotel's own natural garden or with seasonal products from the region. The creative and tasty dishes offer regional cuisine at the highest level. As a hotel guest, you can book an overnight stay including breakfast or half board.
