5 Best Co-working Spaces in Zurich for Boosting Your Productivity
It all started when I realized that working from home was turning me into a human burrito – wrapped in blankets with a coffee mug permanently attached to my hand.
Don’t get me wrong, the cosy vibe was great, but the productivity? Questionable at best.
So, I knew it was time to venture out and find a workspace where my brain could fire on all cylinders and maybe even interact with actual people.
I asked friends, sampled more espressos than I’d like to admit, and scoped out spots with everything from zen garden corners to high-tech meeting rooms. I finally came up with a list of the best co-working spaces in Zurich.
These spots will make you want to trade your PJs for pants and actually leave the house.

Impact Hub Zurich has been a cornerstone of the city’s co-working scene, known for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship since 2019.
They’ve got tons of workspaces available throughout Zurich, making them a convenient and flexible choice for your team. Their rooms even come in a range of sizes, with smaller ones for private meetings and larger spaces hosting up to 50 people.
Plus, all these options come in a range of prices, making it easier to find one that fits your budget. That said, their bigger rooms are still on the pricier end.
We also love the regular events at their locations. They cover everything from entrepreneurship workshops to comedy open mics – these events are great for meeting people in the community!
Spacious areas
“Very nice coworking space! Spacious areas from the very lively coffee bar to more focused corners. The staff is welcomed me very friendly and showed me around. They care a lot about community and will also help you to connect offline with the other coworkers.”
-Aaron Meder, Google Review
Friendly staff
“Friendly co-working space in an old factory building. Urban-industrial chic. Friendly staff. There is a bar for drinks and food. Water and wifi is free. In the summer, you can also sit on the outside deck.”

2. Westhive Hardturm
Address: Hardturmstrasse 161, 8005
Phone: +41 43 444 68 00
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 5 PM
Website: https://www.westhive.com/en/
Westhive is well-known for its upscale, modern aesthetic and exceptional facilities, making it a great fit for professionals seeking a productive yet stylish environment.
They offer open-plan spaces, dedicated desks, and private offices, catering to varying needs. Even cooler, they have unique spaces like breakout rooms and a podcast studio.
But the cherry on top is really their on-site restaurant which offers a space for coffee breaks, team meals, and even cocktails at the bar after work. It’s great for meeting clients or just chilling after a long day.
If you’re looking to save a bit in the long run, they also have handy membership options that offer discounts for long-term rentals of their spaces.
However, we did notice that their day-use spaces can get booked up pretty fast.
Excellent place for work
“I tried Westhive for the first time here in Zürich whilst traveling. This is an excellent place for work. The internet is fantastic! there are enough telephone cabins. You have external monitors to plug into your laptop. Restaurants are in the same building. Absolutely top offer – short term or long term. Very close to town and public transport is within 100 Meters. After a short introduction I was up and working within 5 minutes with a free coffee 🙂 PS: Thanks to Bergitta for the quick tour of the building.”
-Lawrence Reid, Google Review
The atmosphere is great and very engaging
“Amazing space located in a tech-focused neighbourhood of Zurich. It features a co-working space, home to a growing community of young, forward-thinking companies and an excellent cafe/restaurant. The atmosphere is great and very engaging. The facilities includes meeting rooms, printer, fast wifi, good chairs. Basically everything you need to be productive :)”

3. Regus – Zurich City Centre
Address: Badenerstrasse 47 Stauffacher, 2nd & 4th floor, 8004
Phone: +41 44 561 53 00
Business hours: Open 24 hours
Website: https://www.regus.com/en-gb/switzerland/zurich/coworking
Regus is a flexible choice for those who need a reliable workspace. Since their space is open 24 hours, they’re perfect for both early birds and night owls alike.
They offer a range of spaces available, including large offices, dedicated desks, access to open-plan coworking spaces, and private meeting rooms. You can book by the hour or by the month if you need a longer arrangement.
Plus, we love that they can even fully customise and design an office space for your team. You can change up the layout to suit your needs and even bring in some snazzy pieces that add a touch of personality to the space.
However, we did notice that their regular co-working spaces lack that sense of community that’s present in other places.
Great place to work
“Sabu was super helpful, really friendly and made the experience so easy! I’d definitely recommend this as a great place to work, quiet and with excellent facilities”
-Sarah O, Google Review
Fully equipped, very modern, and very comfortable
“I worked at this Regus Center for 2 days and everything went perfect. Isaura was really kind and helpful to me with finding the best place for me, helping me with wifi connection, printing and she even invited me for a coffee when she saw that I was working for a long time without stop. The center is fully equipped, very modern, very comfortable in light, chairs, desks, temperature and the kitchen is very comfortable too. The toilets are very clean and efficient. I can’t say other thing that the Center is 10/10, as also the atmosphere and the superkind host Isaura.”

They offer a range of working spaces from flexible desk options and meeting rooms to outdoor working areas for those sunny Zurich days.
Plus, their prices are super competitive compared to other places. They even have monthly membership options which are great for even bigger savings.
However, since they offer a simpler co-working experience, we did notice that they have limited amenities compared to other spots.
Relaxed and fabulous atmosphere
“Awesome co-working space in the heart of Zurich! The lofty interior makes it very special, the staff is super super friendly and the coffee is very tasty! It is the oldest co-working space in the city, which contriutes to its relaxed and fabulous atmosphere. Fully recommend!”

Super happy with the infrastructure
“Great industrial-styled working space with very friendly coworkers and a very responsive & generous management team.

True life saver for us

It is a 5⭐️ plus for us!”
-Christian Kauffmann, Google Review
