BLUME. Baden Hotel & Restaurant

The BLUME. is a charming hotel steps away from the river. It's a historic property, boasting hospitality since 1421, although the baths underneath the hotel date from a millennium earlier. The grand atrium with hanging plants and natural light is a perfect spot for a conversation among antique furniture and art. Included is a classic Swiss breakfast (complete with the most delicious cheeses!) and use of the Roman thermal baths. The baths include private hot baths, steam room, Finnish sauna, relaxing room, and a variety of cold shower options, as well as spa services should you desire them. The cavern-like atmosphere is enhanced by the flickering of candlelight and the dripping of the thermal springs. I used the baths often during my visit, and they made me feel rejuvenated and ready for another day of touristing. Should you want something more grand, the famous 47 spa is just steps away (but the facilities at the BLUME. were all I needed, so I saved the money and skipped the 47!). The BLUME. staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. They made me feel at home right away. My room was clean and comfortable. I have nothing but praise for this gem of a place.

Swiss Tradition at its best. The restaurant is really a beautiful place to visit and something different from the standard restaurant that pile you up next to people. The food was excellent and the service exceptional. I recommend it!

This is my third stay at Blume Hotel, this time with two friends, and once again, Silvio and his team impressed us with their hospitality and service. Such a beautiful, well-maintained hotel with a great location, perfect for exploring Baden. Top marks; we will be back soon !
