We reveal the perfect location for corporate dinners and group events in Zurich and highlight important criteria you should consider when choosing a venue.

Culture and cuisine combined – special places for private events, team events and corporate dinners in Zurich

A celebration or event, whether private or business-related, is always a special occasion for both the organiser and the guests involved. However, not only the event itself but also the venue should be something special so that you as the organiser are satisfied and your guests feel completely comfortable.

The selection of event locations in Zurich is extremely large and diverse. There are small rooms for meetings and business dinners, cosy places for small family celebrations as well as halls with enough space for banquets, large events and other corporate occasions with many participants. There is a suitable venue for every need, requirement and occasion.

If you want to offer your guests something exclusive, a location in Zurich’s Old Town is an excellent choice. In the historic part of the city, numerous former guild houses shape the cityscape. Over the past years, these buildings have been transformed with great dedication, creativity and passion into modern gastronomy businesses and event venues.

One example is the restaurant "Zum Königstuhl" at Stüssihofstatt 3. This location in the heart of the Old Town is an important part of Zurich’s history. The building from the 15th century, formerly the guild house of tailors, first served as a mayoral residence and later received the name "Königstuhl". Since 2024, you will find at this address the popular event venue Restaurant "Zum Königstuhl".

Celebrate where the opportunities arise – important criteria for choosing the right venue in the city

Despite the large selection of event locations in Zurich, finding the right venue can often be challenging. Questions such as:

• How much space is needed?
• Seating arrangement, yes or no?
• With or without catering?
• Is equipment for entertainment available?
• Are sufficient parking spaces available?

can quickly become overwhelming.

The fact is: the success of an event does not depend solely on the event itself. There are other important criteria that you should consider when choosing the right location. To help you find the right venue in Zurich, we have compiled the most important criteria below.

Checklist for choosing an event location in Zurich

Type of event & number of guests:

Depending on whether you are planning a private celebration or a corporate event and how many people will attend, different venues are suitable.

For events with a smaller number of guests (e.g. family celebrations) as well as business meetings and dinners with partners, restaurants are a good solution. Sufficient privacy is provided and is a top priority. After all, the best (business) conversations often take place over a good meal or a fondue evening.

Venues such as halls are ideal for large events (e.g. weddings, company anniversaries, seminars, team events) with many guests. There is enough space for tables and seating or required equipment (e.g. sound systems or technical devices). Large event venues often also offer space for a dance floor, a stage or a platform.



Rule of thumb: make sure the ambience and size of the venue match your occasion perfectly.

Infrastructure and accessibility:

Zurich has excellent infrastructure, and most venues in central or peripheral locations are easily accessible – whether by public transport such as bus and train, by taxi or by private car. Many locations also offer free parking spaces. Alternatively, there are usually sufficient parking options available in the city of Zurich.

A central event location has the advantage of being within walking distance of many attractions. A venue in Zurich’s Old Town such as the restaurant "Zum Königstuhl" also allows for various activities. If you plan entertainment such as a city tour in the historic part of Zurich as part of your event, you are already on site and can easily reach the sights on foot.

For locations outside Zurich, a car is usually required for arrival and departure. Travel by car, taxi, bus or train incurs costs and takes valuable time that your guests would rather spend at your event. Tip: Organise a shuttle service for your guests or ask your chosen venue whether it offers its own transport service.



Rule of thumb: consider in advance whether you want to celebrate centrally or outside the city and whether you plan activities as part of your event.

Catering and service:

The right catering is another key factor for a successful event. A culinary dinner with important business partners, a delicious cheese fondue with family, a rich buffet for large banquets or individual menus so that each guest can choose freely? The culinary offer in Zurich’s event venues is very diverse.

From popular Swiss classics to modern reinterpretations, the various Old Town restaurants in Zurich offer excellent food options for all occasions. Selected wines from regional winemakers, fine spirits from local distilleries, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages complete the culinary experience.

When selecting ingredients, quality, regionality and sustainability are top priorities. The dishes are prepared with great care, passion and creativity by experienced kitchen teams, preserving the authentic taste of Swiss cuisine – both in traditional dishes and modern reinterpretations.



Last but not least, the service staff play a key role in ensuring the success of your event. Friendliness and professionalism are a given at the restaurant "Zum Königstuhl". Look forward to top service from the team in all areas, from booking the venue to room setup and a pleasant dining experience.
