The hotel opened on May 18, 1962, as the Hotel President. In 1980, it was acquired by a joint venture between Swissair and Nestlé. In 1989, it was sold to the Tamman family. They invested 190 million CHF in its renovation and reopened it in 1996 as the Hotel President Wilson, named for the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, in honor of his dedication to the creation of the League of Nations.[2] On January 1, 2000, it became a member of The Luxury Collection.[3] From 2007 to 2010, it was renovated again at a cost of 40 million CHF.
In November 2016, a Geneva hotel's computer equipment was infected by spy viruses, and sensitive talks among prominent leaders were recorded. This hotel was believed to be the Hotel President Wilson.[4]
