The city of Luzern, the capital of the Government District of the County of Luzern. The somewhat long and twisted name is due to history: despite being a republic, the Free State kept some historic appelations, both for reasons of history and tourism. The city is located on the shores of a lake that bears its name, a scenic piece of Kleiner Wallis snug between the Jura in the north and the Mittelberge to the south. The river Saane flows happily into the lake and onwards to Franken, connected the river as it is to the great Elbe waterway through canal works that enable the Free State to reap many profits off river transport.
The delegations from Winnemark and Eiffelland would land at the rather small, yet still very comfortable Luzern International Airport. Their voyage would take their airplanes over the Wendmarker Alps, in all their glory and splendour. Of course, planes would be maintained to strictly civilian corridors, what with the whole war right off Wendmark's borders and whatnot.
Once landed, each delegation would be greeted by Ferdinand Niederhausen, the Wendmarker Foreign Minister, in person and be provided with land transportation to the Villmergen Palace, nowadays a luxury hotel atop a hill overlooking the river Saane. The location was chosen by the experts of the Wendmarker Chancellery for several reasons, namely that in the particular days the Winnemarker and Eiffellander delegations would be staying, there would be no other guests at the hotel simply due to the vagaries of reservations. A unique occasion!
The other reason is that despite its proximity to the city, the Palace is still a sufficiently remote and private place that would allow the security services to keep sneaky journalists away from disturbing the guests.
Spacious accomodations and luxurious suites, bankrolled by the Wendmarker taxpayer, are at the discretion of the guests. Excellent Gallian cuisine would be served to the guests (namely because native Wendmarker cuisine is not exactly known to be very refined and consists mostly of over nine thousand ways to melt cheese). Unfortunately, since Wendmark is quite a Zwinglian country, any of life's less conventional pleasures, such as drugs and courtesans, would not be found at Villmergen Palace. Whilst such things obviously do exist in Wendmark, that particular venue is eager to maintain its irreproacheable reputation in all manners “unconventional”. Not that it is expected that the highly ranked and most honourable guests would have any such thoughts.
The conference room at the disposition of the delegates, in oak and red wood, is very inviting to all sorts of discussions, from debating the future of tens of thousands of factory workers in some far away corner of Europe in a factory about to be taken over by a new company, to discussing the fates of tens of thousands of soldiers poisoned to fire at each other at any moment once given such an order.
The Wendmarker Foreign Minister would act in a coordinating role to facilitate the talks between the Winnemarker and Eiffellander representatives, but it was not in his agenda to actively intervene.

OOC: I have hereby invited both Winnemark and Eiffelland to skip the arrival posts and proceed to the discussions. To kind of not lengthen the process out too much.
