Will Ferrell Needs Some Help with His Art Basel Hotel Stay

September 12, 2011 at 11:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

Funnyman Will Ferrell did what a lot of us do when trying to find a good hotel---he asked a local. But it just so happened that his local friend was tennis camp Roger Federer.

Page Six reports that Ferrell chatted up Federer at the US Open last week about hotel rooms for Art Basel in Switzerland.

A witness said: “Will was telling Roger he went to Art Basel this summer and stayed at the Hilton by the train station. He said he was unimpressed with his room, and then asked Roger if he could get him an upgrade for next year.”

The Hilton Will stayed in is most likely the Hilton Basel which looks boring predictably Hilton, although the 220 guest rooms have been recently renovated. If Will is looking for a better room, he might want one of the Executive Floor rooms where he can get complimentary breakfast, snacks and drinks.

But we think he should skip the Hilton entirely and try a fresher hotel brand like The Radisson Blu which also offers guests free internet. Or given that this is Art Basel, maybe there's a funkier design hotel that Will could crash in. But maybe Will just likes those "old school" kind of hotels like Hilton. Sigh.

Got a better hotel recommendation in Basel for Will Ferrell? Let us know in comments below
