| Historic Hotels Worldwide® is a prestigious and distinctive collection of luxury historic hotels, many established in former castles, chateaus, palaces, academies, haciendas, villas, monasteries, and other historic buildings. Each year, Historic Hotels Worldwide® and its sister program, Historic Hotels of America®, announce winners of the Historic Hotels Awards of Excellence to recognize outstanding achievements in leadership, stewardship, and preservation of the world’s finest historic hotels. The 2024 Historic Hotels Worldwide® Legendary Family Historic Hoteliers of the Year Award is presented to a multi-generational family ownership entity or management company which has served as an exemplary role model in the operation of the historic hotels entrusted to its stewardship, has demonstrated a long-term legacy of commitment to historic preservation, and has been an active champion of Historic Hotels Worldwide.
This year, the award recognizes the nearly 125 years and four generations of the Baverez family that has created, managed, and stewarded the growth of Les Hôtels Baverez, a unique collection of five-star hotels built on the dreams of one Parisian family. Les Hôtels Baverez, is today led by Madame Véronique Beauvais-Crefcoeur, whose great, great grandfather Constant Baverez was involved from the start. The holdings of Les Hôtels Baverez in Paris include Hôtel Régina Louvre (1900), Hotel Majestic (1907), and Hotel Raphael (1925). The granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Taubert’s partner, Constant Baverez, now leads the family business. Madame Françoise Baverez carried on the tradition her grandfather started and handed the reins over to her daughter, Véronique Beauvais-Crefcoeur, CEO of the Group Les Hôtels Baverez. The saga of the Baverez family, which still owns these three jewels in the crown of Paris, continues. The award will be presented to a representative of the Baverez Family on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the 2024 Historic Hotels Annual Awards of Excellence Ceremony & Gala, in front of an audience of owners, general managers, senior decision-makers, and guests representing many of the finest iconic and legendary historic hotels from around the world. The 2024 Historic Hotels Annual Awards of Excellence Ceremony & Gala will take place at The Omni Homestead Resort (1766) in Hot Springs, Virginia, USA. This event is the finale for the Historic Hotels Annual Conference, held November 19-22 this year. The Omni Homestead Resort was inducted into Historic Hotels of America® as a Charter Member in 1989 and has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. It is an iconic year-round resort nestled in the scenic Allegheny Mountains that has welcomed guests for more than 250 years. “Congratulations to Les Hôtels Baverez and the four generations of the Baverez family for their tremendous accomplishments and for being wonderful stewards of these iconic hotels for more than a century.” said Lawrence Horwitz, Executive Vice President Historic Hotels of America and Historic Hotels Worldwide. “We are delighted to recognize and honor the Baverez family for their record of nearly 125 years for being exceptional stewards of three iconic and legendary historic hotels, the high levels of service at each, and for exemplifying the French art de vivre.” The Hotel Regina Louvre, Hotel Raphael, and Majestic Hotel Paris are three legendary names among Paris luxury hotels. Since 1900, the same family, the Baverez, has led these iconic hotels. After joining the family company in the early 1960s, Madame Françoise Baverez was named chair of the board of directors in 1981 taking over from her father, Paul Baverez. She was made a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur in 2014 for “fifty-four years of service.” On June 30, 2010, Madame Françoise Baverez, the third generation of the family that founded the prestigious Les Hôtels Baverez, announced the appointment of her daughter, Véronique Beauvais-Crefcoeur, as CEO. Tickets for the 2024 Historic Hotels Awards of Excellence Ceremony and Gala are available. The 2024 Historic Hotels Awards of Excellence Ceremony and Gala will take place at The Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 7 p.m. To register for the ceremony and gala only, click here.
