Queen Victoria slept here

Connected Sites: 7

WHS containing significant buildings in which Queen Victoria stayed. "Despite being head of the British Empire, which included territory on all inhabited continents, Queen Victoria never travelled outside of Europe, only travelling as far north as Golspie, southwesterly as San Sebastián, southeasterly as Florence and as far easterly as Berlin. The majority of her visits were made to the duchies and kingdoms of Germany (often via Belgium or the Netherlands) which was the home of many members of her family and the birthplace of her husband, Albert. She also made a few official visits to France and frequently holidayed there towards the end of her life and reign, once including a brief crossing into northern Spain. She also holidayed a few times in Italy and once in Switzerland. During their married life, the couple tended to make foreign trips in late summer, however from the 1870s, the widowed queen travelled during the spring".

Hotel Ancien Excelsior Regina Palace 1897/9. "L'Origine De Ce Projet, Il Y'Aurait Un Séjour, Dit-On Insatisfait, De La Reine Victoria D'Angleterre Au Grand-Hôtel De Cimiez. On Lui Promet Alors De Construire Un Hôtel-Résidence Adapté À Ses Exigences. De Surcroît, L'Édification D'Un Tel Hôtel Répond À Un Besoin Croissant D'Hébergement Pour Une Riche Clientèle D'Hivernants. En Effet, Durant La Saison 1895, Le Riviera Palace A Dû Refuser De Très Nombreux Villégiateurs, Et Cela Malgré Une Première Extension De L'Hôtel. La Souveraine Et Sa Suite Séjourne Au Régina Durant Les Saisons 1897-1899, Une Aile De L'Hôtel Lui Est Alors Entièrement Dédiée." (Nom File) See Wiki
