We like to celebrate. The earlier the planning for Christmas starts, the better. After all, company Christmas parties are the best way to spend quality time with the team. We’ve selected a few places for fantastic Christmas parties so that nobody ends up stuck in their offices just because they forgot to book a restaurant in time. The selection is bound to include the right location for everyone.

Strolling through the romantically illuminated city centre, drinking a glass of hot mulled wine and enjoying a cosy meal together. Sounds like the perfect Christmas party? That's exactly what to expect from the Bregenzer Salon, with vintage chic and Christmas flair to boot. An excellent, small, sophisticated venue for up to 35 people. Spending time cooking together is another way of transforming Christmas parties into team-building events. And, for those who prefer to have their meals cooked for them instead, Christmas dinners are being served at the Brasserie Petrus Belgian restaurant. This way to the virtual tour.

A culinary experience at award-winning levels! Pansis Kochmeisterei is a location for up to 10 people. This is the place to celebrate with good wine and delicious food in the company of the master of taste himself, who’s made a name for himself and won many awards with his ‘Alpen Culinary’ style of cooking. Guests at the Chef’s Table can watch Mike Panis produce gourmet menus, join in spontaneously and enjoy delicious food with the team.

Lake Constance is usually a summer destination, but why not have the office Christmas party on an event boat? Fairytale Christmas decorations, festive food and space for between 50 and 500 people. Depending on availability and budget, organisers may choose between the steamship Hohentwiel, the museum ship MS Oesterreich or the vorarlberg lines’ entire fleet. These include, among others, the MS Sonnenkönigin, MS Austria and the MS Alpenstadt Bludenz.

Vinnova, the highest wine tavern in Vorarlberg, sits at 2,000 metres at the Nova Stoba mountain restaurant in Gaschurn. The place where it’s simply all about enjoying. The view, the food and the excellent wines. The experience starts with the gondola taking guests up to the top and continues with a wine tasting before a fantastic meal is served as the highlight.

Those intending to celebrate their Christmas party surrounded by snow-covered Alps will be able to do so at the 1,250-metre high plateau of the Rufana Alp. A short walk through the winter landscape, a rustic steak or fondue evening in the lounge – that’s what perfect Christmas parties are all about. The restaurant and lounge each offer space for 65 guests while the terrace with panoramic view for receptions is large enough for 140 people.

In an incomparable atmosphere high above the fog line, celebrations at Burgrestaurant Gebhardsberg are truly special. The exclusive Winter Pavilion transports guests into a world of frosty elegance and heartfelt coziness. There is space for 20 to 60 guests. The Burgrestaurant is particularly inviting for enjoying culinary delights during a traditional fondue dinner.

The FIRMAMENT in Rankweil is still fairly new and is all about events and culinary delights. This combo promises great four-course meals and a scintillating atmosphere. Catering Seidl is responsible for the cooking; there’s space for up to 1,000 people. There’s room for receptions with sparkling wine in the foyer and dining and dancing in the 439-square-metre event hall. The FIRMAMENT is also the perfect location for colleagues from other countries at the company Christmas party because the venue boasts its own hotel.

A second pearl for large Christmas parties is both a meeting place and an architectural statement: the Dorfsaal Mellau has been a fixture in the Bregenzerwald since 2018 and represents an impressive ensemble of glass, timber and planning. It’s able to accommodate up to 300 people and everything that’s needed for the catering is on hand. Those who like ‘wowing’ their guests won’t be disappointed by this location. It scores with a fabulous backdrop, top-notch architecture and a beautiful atmosphere.

Is there a better way to celebrate Christmas than sitting in the warmth surrounded by fairy lights under a starry sky? Blumen Kopf 1er Hus transforms itself into a fairytale location in winter with space for up to 100 people, floral decorations from the nursery and garden punch reception. The location is very popular with bridal couples during the summer while it’s an insider tip for perhaps the most beautiful office Christmas party during the winter.
