Hostess Agentur Locarno
Hostess Agency Locarno – staff for festival, lake and grand hotel
THE GOOD STAFF provides native Italian-speaking hostesses and hosts in Locarno for the Locarno Film Festival, Moon & Stars concerts on Piazza Grande, conferences at the PalaCinema and client events in the hotels on Lago Maggiore. Our teams work in Italian, German and English, know the routines of accreditation and guest lists, and remain available in peak season. You usually receive a quote the same day.

Locarno
Every August the film world turns its eyes to Locarno: the festival transforms Piazza Grande into an open-air auditorium for around 8,000 viewers, sponsors host receptions and distributors hold press screenings. In July, Moon & Stars follows with international concerts in the same square. Outside the season, the PalaCinema, the grand hotels of Muralto and Ascona and incentive trips to Lago Maggiore create demand for polished reception staff. THE GOOD STAFF plans your staffing early enough for it to hold firm even during festival time.
What do organisers in Locarno book our reception staff for?
Around the Locarno Film Festival, sponsors, partner brands and production companies book our staff for lounges, guest lists, VIP shuttles and press appointments. At Moon & Stars we run hospitality areas and entry for partner allocations. The PalaCinema, the festival's home and a year-round conference venue, uses our hosts for conferences and industry days. In Ascona, JazzAscona and the Monte Verità conference centre shape the calendar, while lakeside grand hotels stage product launches and weddings. Tour operators with incentive groups also rely on our multilingual guest care.

FAQ – Hostess Agentur Locarno
Ideally two to three months ahead. In August, accommodation and staff around Locarno are scarce; early enquiries secure experienced hostesses who speak Italian, German and English.
Yes. We staff events across the Locarnese, from Muralto and Minusio to Ascona and Brissago – hotel receptions, weddings, seminars at Monte Verità or boat events on Lago Maggiore.
Our core team are native Italian speakers who are fluent in German and English. For international festival guests we add hostesses with French or Spanish when needed.
It is based on hours, shift pattern, language profile and role. Festival assignments with evening and night shifts are calculated separately and transparently; you know the fixed price before booking.
