Kaufleuten Zürich rents three rooms for company parties, private celebrations, presentations and conferences: the Festsaal, the Klubsaal and the Lounge. Capacities range from 80 people in theater layout in the Lounge to 1,000 people for a party or concert in the Klubsaal. The venue stands at Pelikanplatz 18 in the center of Zurich.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself as a place for private or corporate celebrations, presentations and conferences. Each of the three rooms has a basic setup with club seating, a lectern, Wi-Fi, the existing lighting and sound system, a standard club conversion and final cleaning included in the room rental.
Event technology and technical support come from the partner company Invasion GmbH, and their use is mandatory. Other providers can be arranged on request. Event material can only be delivered on the day of the event, which matters for exhibitors and for companies that stage a product launch or an awards evening.
Rooms and capacities
The Festsaal covers 320 m². It was built in the 1920s and recently renovated in keeping with its style. The venue calls it the youngest room of the house. The stated capacities are 120 people for a banquet, 200 in theater layout, 500 in a flying setup, 550 for a concert and 700 for a party.
The Klubsaal is the largest room, with 550 m² and a red and gold velvet interior. It takes 300 people for a banquet, 500 in theater layout, 800 in a flying setup and 1,000 for a party or concert. It can be booked together with other rooms, and a gallery is available as an add-on.
The Lounge covers 170 to 210 m² and has a terrace. It takes 80 people in theater layout, 200 in a flying setup and 300 for a party or concert.
The venue does not define the term flying setup on the pages we read, and it gives figures by layout rather than separate seated and standing counts. Confirm the exact layout when you request a date.
Catering
The Kaufleuten also runs a restaurant on the same square, with seasonal market cuisine and a wine list. The pages we read for event hire do not describe the banquet catering itself, so ask for the menu options and the price documentation the venue links from its Anlass und Bankett page.
History and setting
The house is a cultural and nightlife address in Zurich. Besides the event rooms it hosts a restaurant, a club, a bar and a program of concerts, readings and cabaret. Event dates therefore depend on the house calendar.
Getting there
The venue is at Pelikanplatz 18, 8001 Zürich, in the city center. The website has a contact and access page with a plan. Event requests go through the contact person named on the venue's page and should state the number of guests, the date and the time.
