After the opening of the Regina Hotel in 1900, and the Majestic Hotel in 1907, the founder Leonard Taubert persued his success story by opening the Raphael hotel especially designed for his V.I.P.clients.

The smaller size of the Raphael was intended to suit the needs of his famous guests in an intimate and traditional style. This family-owned hotel group is now headed by Ms Françoise Baverez who has perpetuated this tradition initiated by her grand father. It is not rare today to meet some state-men, political leaders, intellectuals, performers, actors, writers and journalists in the bar or the main lobby.
