- Check out the top hotels in the Old Town, close to the gay bars and take a taxi to the party.
The Venue
- HIVE Zurich – Located on Geroldstrasse 5 in Kreis 5, close to Hardbrücke station, Zürich West.
- This is Zurich’s former industrial quarter, where railway infrastructure, converted buildings and contemporary towers shape the neighbourhood.
- Hive has distinct rooms rather than one open warehouse floor. Its downstairs Disco is the largest space, with a lounge towards the rear. Frigo provides a smaller middle-floor setting, and the upstairs Tanzstube becomes Tanzi for the party.
- Taxi from Old Town Zürich to Hive Club: around 10 minutes, roughly 3km depending on traffic.
Getting There
- Travel to Zürich Hardbrücke station, then allow approximately five minutes to walk to the club.
- Hardbrücke is one train stop from Zürich HB, making the venue convenient from the main station and airport rail connections.
- From the Old Town, allow approximately 10–15 minutes by taxi, depending on your starting point and traffic.
- Choose a hotel in Zürich West for the easiest journey home after the final sets.
Before the Party
Keep the evening in Kreis 5, with an early meal and a relaxed meeting point before entering the club.
- GLEIS – Café-bar and cultural venue in the Zollhaus development at Zollstrasse 121. Allow approximately 15–20 minutes to walk to Hive.
- Gerold Chuchi – Hive’s own restaurant normally operates in the Tanzstube outside club hours, serving Mediterranean and regional dishes, homemade pasta and burgers.
- Plan dinner early. With doors opening before midnight, you can explore the rooms from the start rather than arriving halfway through the programme.
Where to Stay
Stay in Zürich West for proximity to Hive, Hardbrücke’s train connections and the restaurants around the former industrial district. These four hotels offer a different base from the Old Town gay-bar circuit.
- Züri by Fassbind – Modern hotel near Escher-Wyss-Platz, with a fitness room and sauna. Our pick for keeping the walk home short, approximately 10 minutes from Hive.
- Renaissance Zurich Tower Hotel – Spacious rooms in a high-rise setting, with district views and a fitness centre and sauna on the 15th floor. A comfortable upgrade approximately 10 minutes’ walk from the club.
- 25hours Hotel Zürich West – Design hotel with a strong fitness focus and a top-floor sauna. Choose it for a longer weekend exploring Zürich West; Hive is approximately 20–25 minutes away on foot.
- Sheraton Zürich Hotel – Modern Hotel on Pfingstweidstrasse with an on-site restaurant and 24-hour gym. A useful choice for travellers who prefer full hotel facilities, approximately 20 minutes’ walk from the party.
