The founders named the hotel in memory of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and his efforts to promote the League of Nations, created as at the end of World War I. Built in 1962, this hotel has a privileged location in the financial and political heart of Geneva, only a few steps from the most beautiful parks in the city and five minutes away from the United Nations office and the Red Cross International Committee’s headquarters.
The only problem we can think of is that you may prefer to stay in this suite surrounded by luxury and sophistication, and leave the tour of the beautiful Swiss city for another time. ■
