President Wilson Hotel
The Imperial Suite
$23,000 per night
At
the sleek, modern President Wilson Hotel in Geneva, security takes as much
precedence as luxury. Faster than you can say "Frette linens," the
hotel's staff reassures guests that the security in the Imperial Suite is among
the best in the world, ideal for celebrities or traveling heads of states who
visit the United Nations headquarters next door at the Palais Wilson.
(Considering how tight-lipped the hotel management was about the suite, guests
can be assured of total secrecy.)The Imperial Suite, which takes up the entire top floor of the hotel, is reached via a private elevator and has four bedrooms, all of which overlook Lake Geneva. The suite is decorated in a contemporary style, with marble and hardwood floors, and the bay windows overlook Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. Off of the master bedroom is a dressing room as well as a study, and the suite has five bathrooms, all with mosaic marble floor, and a Jacuzzi and steam bath in the main bath. The living room has a billiards table, a library and a cocktail lounge with a view of the water fountain, and can accommodate 40 people. The dining room seats 26 people around an oval mahogany table. For the security-conscious or merely the paranoid, the Imperial Suite is also equipped with bulletproof windows and doors. The price of the hotel is 40,000 Swiss francs (approximately $23,600).
