Gesellschaftshaus zur Kaufleuten, Restaurant and event venue in central Zürich, Switzerland.
Gesellschaftshaus zur Kaufleuten is a restaurant and event venue in central Zürich housed in a stone building that extends across multiple floors. The spaces include separate dining areas and rooms arranged to host different types of gatherings and activities.
The building opened in 1915 following architect Hermann Weideli's design, two years after its acquisition by the Kaufmännische Verein Zürich. Over the decades, its purpose shifted and evolved before taking on its current role as a dining and event establishment.
The venue has served as a gathering place for business and social occasions in the city for generations. Today it continues this role as a space where people from different backgrounds meet for celebrations, performances, and professional events.
The location sits in the old town near shopping streets and public transportation, making it easy to reach on foot or by tram. It offers spaces for both casual visits and formal occasions, so you can drop in for a meal or book it for larger gatherings.
The space underwent a complete transformation in the 2010s when it shifted from serving as a banking facility to becoming a modern multipurpose gathering place. This renovation gave the building a second life as a popular venue for events and dining.
