Built for the Exhibition of 1900

Léonard Tauber and Constant Baverez built the hotel between 1898 and 1900, in time for the Universal Exhibition, and opened it on 1 March 1900. It was named in honour of Queen Victoria, at a time when France and Britain were drawing closer.

In 1919 the League of Red Cross Societies, now the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, was founded in the hotel. A plaque on the building records it.

The same two men went on to build the Majestic, which is now The Peninsula Paris, and the Hôtel Raphael. The Regina and the Raphael still belong to the Baverez family.
