OUR ROOMS

The GDI has an ideal space for every occasion from three to 300 participants – inside, or even outside on our "Lake Terrace" or on the lawn of the well-known "Dutti Park". All our rooms are multi-functional and can be equipped and set up to your requirements for your maximum flexibility.

A new sensor system monitors the air in all GDI rooms and ensures better health, performance and well-being. Our air sensors meet the requirements of the Swiss national Covid-19 task force and better protect people from indoor virus transmission.
