The Limmathof takes gala evenings and business dinners for up to 80 guests, meetings and seminars, Christmas parties, birthdays and wedding celebrations in its listed hall, with 27 rooms and a thermal spa under the same roof. Limmathof Baden Hotel & Spa stands in the Bäderquartier, the historic spa quarter of Baden, in the canton of Aargau, on the bank of the Limmat river.
Seminars and company events
The event offer revolves around one room, the Limmatsaal. Companies book it for business dinners, banquets, board meetings and seminars, as well as end-of-year parties. A meeting can be paired with the spa, which draws its own thermal water, so delegates can end the day in the bath before dinner. Requests go through an event form on the hotel site, and the team sets the room to the format.
Weddings and receptions
The Limmatsaal is offered for wedding celebrations as well as birthdays and gala dinners. With 27 rooms upstairs, the couple and close family can stay in the house, and the spa gives guests something to do the morning after.
Rooms and capacities
The Limmatsaal measures 94 square meters and is a protected historic interior in neo-baroque style, the former dining hall of the spa hotel. Set for a gala evening it takes up to 80 people. For smaller dinners or a meeting around one table it can be arranged with fewer guests.
Accommodation
The hotel has 27 individually furnished rooms in two parts. The historic houses hold studios, design rooms, a guesthouse unit and five Limmat suites. The newer Boutique Design House holds superior rooms, junior suites, a deluxe suite and three private spa suites. A second address, the Limmathof Baden Hotel & Private Spa, opened in 2011 across the river in Ennetbaden.
Catering
Event catering is provided by Phra Nakhon, the hotel's Thai partner restaurant. Organisers planning a Swiss or European menu should discuss it with the team when they send their request.
History and setting
The Limmathof is first recorded in the 13th century. The Limmat spring was captured in 1828, and the current building went up in 1834, its neo-baroque dining hall and its size making it the leading house of the spa town. Since 1846 a footbridge has linked it to the Goldener Schlüssel inn opposite. Friedrich Dürrenmatt's Justiz was filmed here in 1993. After a full renovation in 2000, the house reopened with apartments, the Novum Spa and hotel rooms. Baden has 18 thermal springs, among the most mineral-rich in Switzerland. Water rises from up to 3,000 meters at 47 °C, and the Limmathof pumps about 72,000 liters a day into its bath, cooled to 36 °C.
Getting there
Baden railway station is a short walk from the spa quarter, with frequent trains to Zurich in about 15 to 20 minutes. Zurich Airport is about half an hour away by train or car, which makes the hotel practical for guests flying in for a dinner or a board meeting.
