• First Basel property expands NUMA’s Swiss presence beyond Zurich
• New development delivers 60 design-led units in partnership with Ecoreal Schweizerische Immobilien Anlagestiftung
• Architecture by Monoplan combines contemporary urban design with digital hospitality concepts

Basel/Berlin, 21 July 2026 – NUMA Group, the leading European operator of a fully digitised hospitality platform, today announced its entry into the Basel market with the signing of its first asset in the city, marking a further strategic expansion in Switzerland after Zurich. The new development, owned by Ecoreal Schweizerische Immobilien Anlagestiftung, will deliver 60 keys in a purpose-built property, scheduled to open in the second half of 2027.

The property is a new development, designed by Monoplan, and will bring NUMA’s fully digital, design-led hospitality model to one of Switzerland’s most dynamic urban and economic centres. The building will operate with NUMA’s end-to-end digital guest journey, offering seamless experiences from booking to check-out, while combining contemporary architecture, operational efficiency, and a high-quality urban stay experience.

This project represents a strategic milestone for NUMA Group as it continues its European expansion into prime, high-demand urban markets. Basel’s strong corporate presence, cultural significance, and international connectivity make it a key location for NUMA’s long-term growth strategy in the DACH region.

Dimitri Chandogin, Co-Founder and Member of the Management Board at NUMA Group, said:

“Basel is a highly relevant next step for NUMA in Switzerland. After Zurich, this project expands our Swiss footprint into another strong urban market with deep corporate and international demand. This signing brings together everything we look for: a purpose-built asset, a strong institutional partner, and our digital platform. This is the growth model we want to scale across Europe — always built around a better guest experience.”

Philipp Rohweder, Senior Advisor Real Estate at NUMA Group, said:

“Entering Basel with our first asset in the city is a significant milestone for NUMA. This project reflects our strategy of partnering with strong institutional owners to deliver high-quality, digitally enabled hospitality in prime urban locations. With 60 keys in a purpose-built development, this property sets a strong foundation for our long-term presence in Switzerland where we intend to grow significantly.”

Florian Diener, Head of Construction and Development at Ecoreal Schweizerische Immobilien Anlagestiftung, added:

“We are pleased to partner with NUMA Group on this development in Basel. The project combines strong architectural quality with an innovative hospitality concept that aligns well with our long-term investment strategy. Together, we are creating a future-ready asset that responds to the evolving needs of urban living and travel.”

The development also represents the next chapter for a well-known Basel hospitality address. Hotel Basilisk occupied the site for almost 50 years, operated by the Cavegn family across three generations before the property was sold in 2021. Following a comprehensive redevelopment, the new purpose-built asset will continue the site's long-standing hospitality legacy while meeting modern architectural and sustainability standards.

The Basel development further strengthens NUMA’s position as one of Europe’s fastest-growing digital hospitality platforms, expanding its footprint into a new location while continuing to focus on high-quality, centrally located urban assets.
