Business Districts and Rental Areas
Central Zurich concentrates most of the meeting room offerings. The financial district around Paradeplatz offers high-end spaces in banking towers and modern office buildings. Rates there often exceed the city average but include premium services.
Oerlikon stands out as an interesting economical alternative. This developing district offers new rooms 15 minutes from the center by public transport. Technology companies find modular spaces there at more accessible rates.
The central station (Hauptbahnhof) area facilitates access for participants coming from outside. Business centers located in this perimeter offer all-inclusive packages with concierge service.
