Fact Sheet

Location

Set at Bankverein, in the heart of the city, Nomad is just a five-minute walk from Basel’s main railway station, a two-minute walk from the Rhine, and only a minute from the Old Town—yet still tucked away on a quiet street. It’s hard to imagine a better base from which to explore Basel. Since Nomad came on the scene, over a dozen restaurants have opened in the neighborhood—from top Thai and Mexican eateries to a celebrated Ramen spot. The surrounding area is one of Basel’s key financial hubs, home to the headquarters of UBS, Basel Kantonalbank, and other major institutions.

Design & Culture

Architecture Buchner & Bründler

Nomad Design Architecture

Architecture Buchner & Bründler

Nomad comes alive behind an iconic 1950s concrete façade, with two unique structures united by an open, light-filled ground floor that acts as the social heart of the hotel.

The hotel’s front building is a renovated 1950s apartment house, the rear is newly built. Rather than erasing the existing original structure, the project builds on its character, preserving the facade and adapting and carefully extending the original spatial logic through new architectural additions. By connecting both structures through a shared ground floor, the design creates a balanced and dramatic dialogue between past and present.

Interior design Grego

Woven wool textiles, bespoke furniture and lighting, and handcrafted elements create a sense of flow and a connecting force between two diverse architectural contexts.

Custom-designed kilim carpets, developed specifically for Nomad, act as a unifying element throughout the hotel, softening the raw concrete while adding warmth, color, and tactility. Together with bespoke furniture and lighting, these handcrafted elements create a sense of comfort and individuality without diluting the architectural clarity, offering a distinctive, non-standardized interpretation of luxury that feels both honest and deeply human.
