So it is a hotel in basel with a flag from geneva and it’s called “the zürcher”?
I think that it might be the Hotel Richemond in Geneva? It closed during Covid and as far as I know hasn’t re-opened yet.

That hotel has a serious identity crisis.
It could have been filmed in Prague. It’s often used for scenes that are supposed to play in Swiss cities because there’s some similar architecture, but it’s way cheaper to film there.
The “Zürcher” sign of course is CGId. Looking at the front it is not necessarily a hotel. The small lit column in the background bears a small blue sign with white text which could fit a typical plaque de rue in Geneva. So probably a belle epoque building in Geneva.
Might be the Bristol, else doesn’t really look like Geneva for me
Almost certainly not filmed in Basel. The only place where buildings even remotely similar to these exist would be in the old city and that’s almost exclusively car free or not that flat
This was clearly not shot in Geneva, the style does not match and the term « droguerie » (“drugstore”) is not used in the canton.
I live next to Geneva. My husband is born in it, and my father-in-law too. They know very well their city. I ask them tomorrow and I’ll give You answer (i ´m french so my english is not perfect…)
