Les Hôtels Baverez

Since its founding in 1900, Les Hôtels Baverez has been managed by the Baverez family. The company operates three five-star hotels in Paris: Hôtel Regina (opened 1900), Hôtel Majestic (1908), and Hôtel Raphael (1925). It was established by Constant Baverez and Léonard Tauber.^[1][2]

Paul Baverez succeeded his father Constant, and Paul’s daughter Françoise Beauvais (born Baverez) currently serves as chair of the board of directors as of June 2025. Françoise’s daughter Véronique Valcke was executive director from 2010 to 2013.^[3]

In 2014, Françoise Beauvais was made a chevalier of the French Legion of Honour.^[4]

Inaugurated in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle in Paris, Hôtel Regina is located on the Place des Pyramides. The hotel occupies a Second Empire–style building designed by Léonard Tauber and Constant Baverez between 1898 and 1900. It was named in honor of Queen Victoria to symbolize the Entente Cordiale between France and Britain.^[5][6]

The hotel underwent a series of renovations in 2013, with a total cost of €17 million. These renovations included extensive restoration work. As a result, Atout France awarded the hotel its fifth star in 2015. The hotel also replaced its revolving door in 2016 and added a wellness center, including a spa, hammam, and gym, in 2018.^[6][7]

The Majestic Hôtel-Spa is located at 30 rue La Pérouse in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.^[8] The original Hôtel Majestic was built by Léonard Tauber and opened in 1908 as the second hotel of what is now the Baverez group. It was situated on the opposite side of rue La Perouse in the building now known as The Peninsula Paris Hotel. That building was purchased by the French government in 1936 to serve as offices for the Ministry of War.^[9]

The 30 rue La Pérouse building opened in February 2010 as Hôtel Majestic Villa. Later, the name was changed to Majestic Hôtel-Spa.^{[citation needed]}
