Considered as the Europe most spacious suite

Ideally situated, the Royal Penthouse Suite of The President Wilson hotel offers 1680 sqms with a unique panoramic view overlooking the Geneva Lake and the Alps.

Internationally reputed to be the largest and most luxurious of hotel suites, the Royal Penthouse Suite retains

its mystic…Occupying the entire eighth floor of the reknowned Geneva palace, this immense setting has been superbly rethought new private Fitness area, equipped with state of art fitness machines.

Sumptuous decor, luxurious comfort, each detail of the Royal Penthouse Suite reveals a treasure. No matter where one looks, an oeuvre d'art is for contemplation. Should it be an art deco vase; a prestigious painting, or

a Persian carpet, each object has been chosen for its unique value. It is the exigency of the hotel's director and owner, Charles Tamman, that works of art are loved and appreciated by the hotel's guests. But even

more than the  luxurious surroundings,  or  the  avant-garde  audiovisual  equipment,  the  exclusive  service proposed  by  the  hotel  far  surpasses the  standard  Swiss norm. A  subtle  perfume  emanating from  the wardrobes of the master dressing room pervades the area as if by magic. And as for the magnificent floral arrangements, these are created especially to bring a harmony to the environment.


Room with view

Captivating. Whether in the salon, bedroom or bathroom, the views of the lake are breathtaking. To one side, the  Rade  de  Genève,  to  the  other,  its  rippling  waves  extend  one's  view  to  the  surrounding mountains.  Nightime, moonlight caresses the lake and the city's lights glow in their reflection. These views have inspired well-known compositions from famous musicians residing in the Royal Penthouse Suite. The balconies and terraces overlooking the hotel pool are oriented to the south and invite farniente, sipping from one's glass whilst admiring the scenery. During a jacuzzi, or the hammam, through the glass bay windows one admires the majestic Mont Blanc; an unforgettable sight, a mystic panorama…


High Level security


The security of the Royal Penthouse Suite has nothing to do with the proximity of the UN, it is a must when you wish to host VIP guests well known such as the movie stars / show business people / heads of states. Surveillance cameras are situated in the corridors and at the entrance of the suite with video monitors located at the interior of the suite central alarm system and the hotel's alarm system. An interphone is situated at the entrance of the suite to permit identification of visitors. Entry doors (steel lining of interior), periphery walls and armoured windows (6cm width).Likewise, inside the suites there are further sliding, armoured doors to ensure isolation of specifics zones.

Anti-intrusion magnetic contacts are to be found on the terrace side of the suite. In the event of intrusion or illness, the two main bedrooms are equipped with push buttons on each side of the bed linked to the hotel's security centre. The armoured safe is human full-size and possesses its own security system with alarm and mechanical key.

Heads of State and VIPs are particular admirers of the President Wilson's Royal Penthouse Suite due to its high level security. The entire floor is armoured and equipped with security cameras, as well as a private guardroom. As for the bay windows, these are of bullet-proof glass.
