They are all 4 and 3-star properties, and each has its own unique style that allows for a variety of guest preferences.

ITU Hotel Reservations:
ITU maintains a list of hotels and residences of varied categories in or near Geneva that offer special rates to delegates attending conferences or meetings at the ITU. The list requires use of a standard booking form. A PDF copy of the full hotel list is available at: http://www.itu.int/travel/hotels.pdf.
Follow the procedure below to make a reservation for a hotel room with the ITU special terms:
- Delegates must reserve a room directly (i.e. not through an intermediary such as a travel agency, airline, etc.) with their chosen hotel from the list by phone, fax, or email.
- They must confirm the booking by mailing or faxing this standard booking confirmation form, which must provide valid credit card information to secure the hotel room guarantee.
- Bookings that are not guaranteed by a credit card will be held only until 18.00 hours.
- When checking in, delegates may be required to provide evidence that they are attending an ITU meeting or conference (i.e. show badge or invitation letter).
