Your Event
Our Banquet Halls
The historical Grand Guild Hall where lectures, meetings, lunch presentations and exhibitions are held during the day, is reserved for grand celebrations, weddings, family events, concerts and banquets in the evenings. The hall with its magnificently crafted stucco ceiling is considered a gem of the rococo period and provides room for 240 guests.
You will not have that many guests? No problem – the Grand Guild Hall can be partitioned optically and acoustically into two smaller halls: the Northern Guild Hall and the Southern Guild Hall. The equally magnificent Wing Room can be used for events seating from 10 to 40 people. For luncheons and dinners, we do not charge for the room but ask that a certain minimum of food and drink is consumed. The minimum depends on size of the room, day of the week and season.

Program
We will gladly accommodate your program and do your event justice. In order to do this, we must be given the number, the point in time and the lengths of possible speeches / presentations to be made during the dinner, or we cannot guarantee an impeccable service.
Overnight Stay
It will probably be late by the end of the event. Do you still want to drive home? Why not spend the night in the heart of Zurich? Our neighboring hotels have lovely rooms. Ask us for a recommendation.
