This white statue of Queen Victoria (of the United Kingdom), stands above the first floor of the historic hotel. It is set within a light pink-painted brick arched façade, with a domed semi-circular recess behind it. The scepter in her right hand, the orb in her left hand, and the crown on her head are painted gold.
Originally the hotel was called the Queen Victoria Hotel, and it was established in 1880, some 40+ years after Queen Victoria took the throne.
"Victoria was born at Kensington Palace, London, on 24 May 1819. She was the only daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of George III. Her father died shortly after her birth and she became heir to the throne because the three uncles who were ahead of her in the succession - George IV, Frederick Duke of York, and William IV - had no legitimate children who survived ... On William IV's death in 1837, she became Queen at the age of 18." [Queen Victoria, UK, Royal]
