The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in eastern Switzerland can host company meetings, seminars, receptions, dinners and weddings in eight event rooms, from a salon for 12 guests to a hall for 400. The Quellenhof is one of four hotels of the resort, so participants can sleep, eat and work on the same grounds in Bad Ragaz.
Seminars and company events
The resort runs a dedicated Meet & Celebrate team for company events. For a seminar, the official pages state that technology, seating and documents are ready when participants arrive. Every larger room has a projector, a screen, an HDMI connection and high-speed Wi-Fi, and hand or headset microphones are available.
The Johanna Spyri Saal takes up to 70 people and suits sessions that switch between seated dialogue, standing sequences and group work. The Rainer Maria Rilke Saal holds up to 100 people and is described for workshops and seminars. For a plenary or a gala dinner, the Bernhard Simon Saal holds up to 360 people. For confidential talks, the Board Room seats up to 18 around an oval table with a video conferencing system.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are part of the offer. The Rainer Maria Rilke Saal and the Musiksalon in the Palais Bad Ragaz are both described as suitable for ceremonies, and the Bernhard Simon Saal appears in the resort's wedding photographs. The Grüner Salon, with its fireplace, is used for aperitifs and personal receptions. Birthdays and family celebrations are also hosted, with menus and service adapted to the group.
Rooms and capacities
The resort lists these rooms, with maximum capacities as stated on its site:
The Bernhard Simon Saal covers 362 square meters for up to 360 guests, has high windows and parquet, and opens onto a gravel terrace area. The gladys, next to the golf course, covers 455 square meters for up to 400 guests and has its own terrace and kitchen. The Rainer Maria Rilke Saal and the Johanna Spyri Saal each cover 91 square meters. The Victor Hugo Lounge, under the roof of the Kursaal, covers 89 square meters for up to 40 guests and has beams, a fireplace and a private bar. The Board Room covers 69 square meters. The Musiksalon and the Grüner Salon each cover 63 square meters, for up to 16 and 12 guests.
Accommodation
The resort names four places to stay: Quellenhof, Hof, Tower and Palais. The official pages do not give a total bedroom count, so ask for the number available on your dates. Guests can also use the Tamina Therme, the thermal pool with 36.5 degree Celsius water, and the resort's spa and health center.
Catering
The resort has several restaurants, including IGNIV by Andreas Caminada, Sven Wassmer Memories, verve by sven, Zollstube and gladys, plus bars. For events, menus, drinks and service are matched to the group and the schedule. The gladys is the natural choice after a round of golf, since the resort runs an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole executive course.
History and setting
Bad Ragaz has been known for its thermal water for centuries, and the resort dates its wellbeing tradition to 1242. The Palais Bad Ragaz keeps stucco marble and a historic music salon, while the Kursaal houses the Victor Hugo Lounge. The mountain setting, with views from several halls, is part of what the resort offers to groups.
