Scenarios and venues in Zurich
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Dinner in Zurich
Dinner is the most frequent scenario in Zurich. A 3-4 hour format: meeting at the restaurant or in the hotel lobby, dinner, a light walk along the lake if the weather allows. We book the table ourselves in advance — we hold direct contacts with the maître d's of the keystone central restaurants. For a business guest we suggest Pavillon; for a cultural one — Kronenhalle; for a summer evening — Sonnenberg or Marc Wegmann.

Hotel Meeting
For hotel meetings we use six five-star hotels: Baur au Lac, The Dolder Grand, Park Hyatt, Widder, Storchen, Eden au Lac. In each we know the check-in specifics, the reception, the private options.

Business Accompaniment on Bahnhofstrasse
The Zurich business scenario — the Bahnhofstrasse banking zone, meetings at the offices of UBS, Pictet, Julius Baer, family offices, talks in Park Hyatt or Baur au Lac.
