The City-Hotel Ochsen in Zug can host meetings and seated events from 10 to 40 people in three rooms, with a four-star hotel of 42 rooms and a restaurant under the same roof. The house stands on Kolinplatz in the old town of Zug, Switzerland, and has been receiving travelers since 1543.
Seminars and company events
The hotel rents out three meeting rooms to companies and to the public, not only to its own guests. The Kolinsaal is the largest and holds up to 40 people. The Sitzungszimmer, a meeting room with a large screen, suits groups of up to 10. The Giorgio Avanti Zimmer is meant for a small discussion without technical equipment.
The hotel states that the rooms come with modern technology for meetings, workshops and presentations. Extra equipment is rented on request and billed by effort: a flipchart with pad and pens, an overhead foil, a projection screen of 180 by 250 cm and a projector. A booking form on the website lets you choose the room and the date, and the hotel replies and helps plan the day.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel presents itself as a frame for festive, private and business occasions. Its banquet offer and the restaurant rooms are used for celebrations. The website does not describe wedding packages, so ask the team what is possible for a ceremony meal or a reception and for how many guests.
Rooms and capacities
Besides the three meeting rooms, the website lists the Restaurant au premier and the Ferdinand Gehr Zimmer among the spaces for celebrations and business events. It gives no capacity for these two, so confirm the numbers before you plan a seated dinner. The rooms can be arranged in different ways, according to the occasion.
Accommodation
The hotel has 42 rooms in the old town. The house is rated four stars and is run by the Hegglin family, now in its third generation. A sauna and a fitness room are open to guests, which helps in a two-day seminar when participants want a break between sessions.
Catering
Cooking is regional and seasonal. The restaurant works with products from the Zug area and from Switzerland, and the house names Zugersee whitefish fillets among its seasonal dishes. The wine cellar holds more than 1,500 wines, and the sparkling wine list received an award in 2026 from the magazine Vinum. A business lunch menu and a bar, Le Bar du Boeuf, complete the offer for an aperitif or an evening after the session.
History and setting
The Ochsen dates from 1543. It began as an inn for travelers and became a four-star city hotel. The building sits in the old town of Zug, between the lake, the hills and the lanes of the center. Participants can step outside for a walk at lunchtime without taking transport.
Getting there
The address is Kolinplatz 11, 6300 Zug. The hotel is in the center of the old town. The website offers an access page with the route and the hotel app for guests. Check with the team about parking and arrival by train before the event.
