What is a Presidential Suite?

The Presidential Suite is a hotel’s most high-end accommodation, designed to host heads of state, celebrities, and the ultra-wealthy. It stands out due to its expansive size, privacy, and a level of personalised service unmatched by other categories. Depending on the establishment, it may also be called a Royal Suite, Imperial Suite, or Penthouse.

What Size and Amenities?

A Presidential Suite often exceeds 100 m² and can reach several hundred square metres, featuring multiple bedrooms, a large living room, a dining room, and sometimes a private terrace. It offers the hotel’s finest views, exceptional materials, and frequently, private spaces such as a spa, gym, or office.

What Services are Included?

Beyond the decor, it is the service that defines the Presidential Suite: a dedicated butler, sometimes a private chef and chauffeur, arrival via a discreet entrance, and enhanced security. The goal is to allow guests to live, entertain, and work without ever needing to leave the suite.

How Much Does a Presidential Suite Cost?

Prices range from a few thousand euros per night in a good 5-star hotel to several tens of thousands of euros in luxury palaces. In Paris, the prestigious suites of grand palaces often cost between €20,000 and €30,000 per night; in Geneva, the world’s most expensive suite exceeds €80,000.
