Four nominated venues – four quality seals awarded. At this year’s Swiss Location Award 2025, all four of Westhive’s event spaces received outstanding ratings. This confirms once again that Westhive is one of the best providers for business events in Switzerland – and validates what our clients have long known: when you’re looking for inspiring spaces for workshops, conferences, or networking, you’re in exactly the right place.
The Most Important Award in the Event Industry
The Swiss Location Award is organized annually by the event portal eventlokale.ch. This year, over 75,000 organizers and guests cast their votes. The award is considered an important indicator of quality, atmosphere, and service – both for venue operators and their clients.
We’re especially proud that all four Westhive event spaces were honored with excellent ratings and now count among the best event venues in Switzerland. Even more rewarding is that we managed to improve our already strong ratings from the previous year in Basel and Geneva – a testament to our ongoing commitment to excellence.
