The group Les Hôtels Baverez is a French hotel group created in 1900.
Managed by the same family since 1900, Les Hôtels Baverez is a Parisian hotel group managing 5-star establishments. Constant Baverez was the associate of Léonard Tauber, founder of Regina (1900), Majestic (1907), and Raphael (1925). His son Paul Baverez followed in his footsteps and so did his daughter Françoise Baverez. She is currently the chair of the board of directors of the group. Her daughter, Véronique Valcke, is the executive director of all three hotels since 2010.
Inaugurated in 1900 for the World's Fair in Paris, Hotel Regina is situated on the Place des Pyramides, taking its name from Napoleon’s victory in Egypt in 1798. The hotel is a building dating back to the Second Empire. Léonard Tauber and his associate Constant Baverez built it between 1898 and 1900.
Hotel Regina was named after Queen Victoria, symbolising the Entente Cordiale between the French and the British.
The first phase of renovation to the hotel was completed in summer 2014 and the renovations of the second wing, which started in October 2014, were inaugurated on 29 September 2015. The cost estimate for the renovations is 17 million euros. In November 2014, Mr Piazzi was appointed as the new director and in August 2015 the hotel received its fifth star from the Atout France agency.
