Daniel Nicolas Thévenon fled Paris in 1863 owing money, arrived in London with his wife Célestine and around five pounds in cash, and changed his name to Daniel Nicols before opening a small café on Glasshouse Street in 1865. Within two years its popularity had expanded the business into the Regent Street address the hotel still occupies today.
In 1867, the modern rules of boxing, the Queensberry Rules, were established here, two decades before Oscar Wilde began visiting daily and falling in love with Lord Alfred Douglas in what is now the Oscar Wilde Lounge. David Bowie, performing as Ziggy Stardust, famously kissed Lou Reed in the same room in 1972.
