According to the CIUP website, the house was created in 1937 and has 77 accommodations and residents of 19 nationalities. Its creation is closely tied to the history of Monaco's princely family: the initiative was launched by Prince Pierre of Monaco, born Pierre de Polignac, grandfather of Prince Albert II. In 1929 an initial donation enabled the creation of around 50 beds, and after Prince Pierre's withdrawal, Louis II took over the project and established a committee to secure additional funding from private sources.
