The popular art and culture hotel with its own theatre, restaurants and wine cellar is situated in the heart of Basel’s old town. 

 He is president and sole member of the «“Association of the Masters of Nothingness”: Dieter Meier, musician, conceptual artist, gourmet and jack-of-all-trades has the stage for a branch of this association in Der Teufelhof – tongue in cheek of course. The cosy, liveable work of art, reminiscent of the Mediterranean, showcases memorabilia from his works, interspersed with amusing snippets of food for thought about the “idleness of existence”.

It is wonderfully typical of Der Teufelhof to allow the room to remain as it is, even though the art rooms are generally redesigned every three to four years. The next change is planned for 2019: on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, Der Teufelhof has invited the artists of its most frequently booked rooms of the last three decades to a creative reunion. «“Although it hurts every time we dismantle old art rooms, we are remaining faithful to the spirit of those who founded the hotel,” says manager and owner Raphael Wyniger.
