Hotel Schützen Rheinfelden

Hotel Schützen Rheinfelden is a contemporary riverside hotel at Bahnhofstrasse 19 in the medieval town of Rheinfelden, in the canton of Aargau on the south bank of the Rhine at the Swiss-German border. Rheinfelden is one of Switzerland's lesser-visited historic towns, distinguished by its remarkably preserved medieval wall, its 14th-century twin-town relationship with Rheinfelden in Germany directly across the river, and its long association with the Feldschlösschen Brewery — one of Switzerland's largest and most visited — whose distinctive castle brewery complex is a five-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is a modern build in the centre of the old town, designed with clean contemporary lines that contrast with the surrounding medieval architecture. Rooms are well-proportioned with contemporary furnishings, good natural light, and views that range from the town rooftops to the Rhine; higher-category rooms on the upper floors have river perspectives. The restaurant sources regional produce from both sides of the border and serves Swiss and Alsatian-influenced cuisine, reflecting Rheinfelden's position at the cultural crossroads of Switzerland, Germany, and the Alsace region of France. A wellness area with sauna and fitness equipment is available to all guests. The hotel is four kilometres from Basel's EuroAirport and a 25-minute train ride from Basel SBB station, making it an alternative base for Basel visits and events including Art Basel in June. The Rhine cycle path, part of the EuroVelo 15 long-distance route, passes through the town.
