Kursaal Bern

Congress and event centre in Bern with 27 event spaces for up to 1,357 people, an integrated 4-star superior hotel with 163 rooms and suites, several restaurants, congress and event catering, event technology and event organisation. All services are located at one site, around five minutes by tram from Bern railway station.

Kursaal Bern brings together congresses, conferences and events with hotel accommodation, gastronomy, event technology and event organisation at a single location. This all-in-one offering is its key strength: organisers can combine event spaces, planning and organisation, event technology, congress and event catering, as well as hotel accommodation from a single provider and at one location.

This makes Kursaal Bern particularly suitable for one-day and multi-day congresses, conferences, corporate events and other events with participants from Switzerland and abroad.

The congress centre has 27 flexible event spaces for meetings, seminars, conferences, congresses, corporate events, galas, banquets, concerts and private events. The largest venue, the Kursaal Arena, can accommodate up to 1,357 people in concert seating.

In addition to its event spaces, Kursaal Bern provides all the services required to deliver events directly on site: event planning and organisation, event technology, and congress and event catering. Hotel rooms and restaurants are also located at the same site.

Kursaal Bern is particularly suited to national and international companies and organisations, associations, and event organisers looking for event spaces, technology, catering and, where required, hotel accommodation in Bern.

Swissôtel Kursaal Bern is a 4-star superior hotel with 163 rooms and suites. It is directly integrated into the Kursaal Bern congress and event centre and is part of the international Accor Group.

As the congress centre and hotel are located at the same site, Kursaal Bern is particularly well suited to multi-day congresses, conferences and events with participants from Switzerland and abroad. Kursaal Bern therefore combines the advantages of a congress centre, conference hotel and event venue at a single location.

The gastronomic offering includes both congress and event catering for events as well as restaurants and bars open to the public.

Giardino Restaurant & Bar: Mediterranean cuisine, bar and garden restaurant in summer

Restaurant Yù: Asian buffet, open from September to May

Rooftop Grill: seasonal summer rooftop restaurant with grilled specialities, drinks and views over Bern

Sushi&Co: Japanese specialities

The three business areas – the congress centre, Swissôtel Kursaal Bern and gastronomy – complement each other to provide a comprehensive event offering.

At Kursaal Bern, event organisers can combine event spaces, event organisation, event technology, catering and event gastronomy, as well as hotel accommodation at a single location.
