Romantik Hotel Bären Dürrenroth
The Bären in Dürrenroth combines historic buildings, a modern seminar venue, easy accessibility, and the charm of a typical Emmental town.

Landgasthof Lueg
The conference hotel Landgasthof Lueg offers the ideal setting for creative sessions or meetings and conferences. An inspiring place surrounded by nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life yet still centrally located, to develop strategies and visions, solve problems, and create space for new ideas. The package is completed by regional products that are turned into delicious dishes.
Hünigen Castle
Visitors are enchanted with Hünigen Castle from the moment they enter the magnificent castle park. The 16th-century estate is filled to the brim with history and inspiration and offers diverse and spacious rooms: from a light-flooded meeting room to a free-standing pavilion in the park, the elegant and modern rooms can accommodate all kinds of event.
Kreuz Herzogenbuchsee
From being the first pub in the country not to serve alcohol, through turbulent times of closure and renovation, to its reopening in 2017, the 237-year history of the Kreuz Herzogenbuchsee is an impressive one. Winner of the Historic Hotel of the Year 2025 award, the hotel is a wonderful blend of tradition and innovation. Whether for a conference in one of the historic rooms or a summit meeting in the attic with its 9-metre-high ceiling, the Kreuz in the beautiful Oberaargau region of Bern is the ideal setting for creative ideas and pioneering spirit.
Direkt zu allen Seminarhotels
Hotel Al Ponte
The Al Ponte hotel in Wangen an der Aare fulfils two important criteria for convention venues: it’s close to nature and still easily reachable. Dedicated host Frank Walker, who inherited the hotelier gene from his parents, runs this business on Switzerland’s Central Plateau. Its location is ideal: the Al Ponte can be reached within a mere 30 to 50 minutes from Bern, Basel, or Zurich
Hotel Moosegg
Not only the breathtaking panoramic views make a stay at the Moosegg Hotel worthwhile: in its restaurant high above Emmenmatt, host and chef Daniel Lehmann serves up modern, top-quality country cuisine that attracts gourmets from near and far. Enjoy the fantastic view of the calming Emmental hills from almost 1,000 metres above sea level during a business lunch or outside after an intense day of conferences. One of the highlights is the wine menu, which consists of no less than 90 pages. Heavenly!
Hotel Landgasthof Kemmeriboden-Bad
Reto and Alexandra Invernizzi are at the source of the Emme river – and at the source of new ideas. They provide a feel-good ambiance in the middle of nature at the Kemmeriboden-Bad hotel and restaurant, where hospitality and gastronomy history has been written for 185 years. Today, the 2022 Hoteliers of the Year run the family business in Schangnau in the sixth generation with their signature innovative yet tradition-conscious style. The modern seminar infrastructure in the listed wooden building pairs wonderfully with the cuisine, which is creative without forgetting the traditional dishes from the region. Most of the ingredients come from regional producers and the “Kemmeriboden-Merängge” (Kemmeriboden meringue) is iconic.
Hotel Appenberg
It is said to be the prettiest hotel village in the Emmental: the Hotel Appenberg unique. This hotel and restaurant complex consists of 12 historic buildings where you can find the right space for any event and any need. Guests from all over the world are cordially welcomed by the two hosts.
It is currently being renovated and will reopen in autumn 2026.
Hotel Hirschen Eggiwil
At the Hirschen Eggiwil, personality, passion, and sustainability are ever-present, from the welcome to the menu: quality of service is a priority and the ingredients for the lovingly prepared, regional dishes are delivered by the neighbours on foot. Set in the soft rolling hills of the Emmental valley and easily reachable from both Bern and Zurich, this family business, run by the fourth generation, is the place to be for a creative break in nature.
