The 225-room building by Lake Geneva was originally constructed in 1873–75 as Hôtel National. When Switzerland joined the then newly created League of Nations in 1920, the premises became the world body's headquarters. The Palais Wilson is the current headquarters of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Sehr schön

The Palais Wilson (Wilson Palace) in Geneva, Switzerland, is the current headquarters of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. It was also the headquarters of the League of Nations from 1 November 1920 until that body moved its premises to the Palais des Nations on 17 February 1936, which was constructed between 1929 and 1938, also in Geneva.[1] In 1924, the building was named after U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who was instrumental to the foundation of the League of Nations.

Es la sede de la Alta Oficina de los Derechos Humanos de la ONU. Un palacio con historia localizado al borde del hermoso lago Leman en Ginebra - Suiza. Sus detalles arquitectónicos internos son una verdadera joya.

The Palais Wilson, originally the Hotel National built between 1873 and 1875, is currently the home for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The history of the building is quite a fated one. Initially being too grand a vision with underestimated budget and overestimated location it started with a suicide of a hotelier and property developer, Charles-Frederic Aldinger, just two months before the opening of the hotel. He jumped out of the window. The hotel then went into bunkrupcy two years in its operation, partly due to its unfavourable location - the district of Les Paquis, populated mainly by farmers and fishermen. The hotel was catering for wealthy European travelers. After the First World War the hotel was modernised by the hotel magnate from the Core d'Azure, Marc Camoletti. The reception was moved to the top floor, each room hand an en suite bathroom and a new technology as elevators were introduced. But it was never destined to be opened as a hotel as at the same time the League of Nations' secretary-general, Sir Eric Drummond, fell in love with the building and the League purchased it for 5,5 million francs for its offices. In 1924 the building was renamed to Palais Wilson to commemorate the American President.the League stayed in the building till 1937 then it was sold to the canton, then the City of Geneva. It was used for all sorts of purposes including centre for Contemporary Arts and Association of the cinema professionals. In 1980s the building fell into disrepair. In 1990s it was renovated in anticipation that the UN Environmental Commission would occupy it. No such luck though. However, a different tenant was welcomed in instead in 1998 - The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Commission had 400 employees working in the Palais Wilson. The number which has grown to 700 by now. The Commission is going to move in 2020-2022 and so the building will be vacant again. Who's next? PS: the building is closed for public but can be admired from outside both from the Quai side and from its entrance side.
