Kongresshaus Zürich is a congress and event centre on Lake Zurich, a few minutes from the main station. Organisers book it for congresses, meetings, corporate events, exhibitions, entertainment and weddings. The complex has more than 20 rooms and over 5,300 m² of event space, and events of up to 4,500 participants are possible when the adjoining Tonhalle halls are used.
Seminars and company events
For corporate events, the venue states that it handles formats of every size, from an exclusive reception to a large event with several hundred guests, and from a general assembly to a gala. The rooms can be combined to suit the occasion and the atmosphere you want, and the in-house event team advises on the options whatever the type and size of the event.
Technology is covered on site. The technology partner Venon Projects AG is based in the building and supplies permanently installed equipment for any format, size or duration. Meetings, congresses, exhibitions and entertainment each have their own page on the official site, so a planner can start from the closest format.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists weddings among the events it hosts. Indoor and outdoor spaces are available, and rooms can be combined depending on the occasion. The official pages do not state wedding capacities, so ask the team for the room that matches your guest count. LUX Restaurant & Bar and its terrace are part of the offer.
Rooms and capacities
The main rooms are the Kongresssaal, the Kongressvestibül, the Gartensaaltrakt, the Seezimmer, LUX Restaurant & Bar and the lecture rooms. The full list also includes Seezimmer 1 A-C and 2 to 6, Vortragssaal 1 and 2 with their foyer, the Kongressfoyer, the Vereinssaal and the restaurant terrace. The adjoining Tonhalle halls, Grosse Tonhalle and Kleine Tonhalle, add more than 2,000 m². The official site does not publish capacities per room on the pages available, so request the capacity table from the team for your layout.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms in the building. The venue lists partner hotels on its site for guests who need to stay overnight.
Catering
Catering covers a coffee between sessions, a business lunch, an aperitif, a flying dinner or a festive banquet. The team develops food concepts to fit the size and wishes of each event. The kitchen works with regional and seasonal produce. LUX Restaurant & Bar is on site and has its own page.
