Presidential suite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Presidential Suite is a luxury hotel room made available to only the most affluent of hotel guests, and a room can only be authorized as "Presidential" in a hotel with at least 4 Stars.[citation needed]

It gained its name during the Woodrow Wilson presidency (1913-1921), because on each of his political trips away from Washington, he would insist on having a hotel room conform to specific requirements for his visit.

Every Presidential Suite since must adhere to tradition in Woodrow Wilson's specifications. It must be south-facing in the Northern Hemisphere and north-facing in the Southern Hemisphere, containing an "en-suite" bathroom and walk-in closet.

The most notably famous presidential suites can be found in the Plaza Hotel, New York City, and the Ritz Hotel, London, England.
