An attached waterpark and spa rooms with modern amenities and a location away from the hustle and bustle of Switzerland's third-largest city are among the draws at the non-smoking Courtyard By Marriott Basel. The five-story Courtyard has a strikingly modern exterior. The 175 non-smoking rooms and suites have every creature comfort including pillowtop mattresses dressed with starched linens and fluffy pillows. Flat-panel TVs with pay-per-view movies mini-fridges and coffeemakers are among the amenities. Well-lit work desks and wired and wireless internet access let you get down to business. In the same building is the expansive Aquabasilea waterpark and spa with wave pools and water slides for kids and a wellness area for adults where you can indulge in a massage or other treatment. A fitness room with free weights and cardio machines lets you stick to your workout plan. The restaurant is open for breakfast lunch and dinner and a delivery service from nearby eateries is another option. Same-day dry cleaning is a nice perk. Pets are allowed with a fee. Parking is available also for a fee. Six miles from downtown Basel the Courtyard is close to the highway and to Swiss borders with Germany and France. A short stroll from the hotel is the famous waters of the Rhine. The Roman ruins of Augusta Raurica are three miles east. EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is 12 miles northwest. No need to seek out other diversions when the Courtyard By Marriott Basel shares a building with a waterpark and spa. The location is ideal for on-the-go Priceline guests.
