At the First
The restored south wing of Zurich’s main train station conceals an intimate bar and elegant conference rooms. Their furnishings are both striking and understated. The «Au Premier» bar is a hidden gem. Although thousands of people pass by it every day, it often goes unnoticed. In fact, they walk beneath it when they enter Zurich’s main train station through the south wing. Only those in the know realize that an unassuming side entrance leads to the bar and conference rooms on the second floor. The south wing was built in 1871 by Jakob Friedrich Wanner in the Neo-Renaissance style.

Aebi & Vincent Architekten comprehensively renovated the building from 2012 to 2023 and refurbished the prestigious rooms on the first floor in 2025, closely following the original design. The arch motif that gives the station entrance its distinctive appearance also defines the interior rooms arranged round the dome. “Au Premier” comprises four conference rooms of varying sizes and a bar. Together with Candrian Catering and the architects, who were also responsible for the interior fit-out, teo jakob developed custom furnishing solutions for the prestigious rooms.
One of the conference rooms features a dark green pure wool carpet designed by the architectural firm and custom-made by Ruckstuhl (530 x 630 cm).
