(20/11/23) The iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel will
celebrate the 15th anniversary of her arrival in Dubai on 26
November 2023.
The QE2 is the sole floating hotel in the Emirates
and is permanently docked at Port Rashid in Dubai.
The extraordinary history of the QE2 includes
sailing over 6 million nautical miles, equivalent to 15 trips to
the moon and back.
The maritime marvel, powered by powerful
diesel-electric engines, each as large as a double-decker bus, has
a gross tonnage that surpasses the RMS Titanic by 1.5 times.
Whilst in active service, the QE2 hosted
approximately 2.5 million passengers and continues to make history
with every guest that walks its hallowed decks.
The Queen Elizabeth 2 floating hotel is managed by Accor and has been in Dubai for 15 years
Staying in one of the 447 renovated rooms on the
Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel is like discovering a story that stretches
across decades and oceans. It’s a chance to be enveloped by the
ship’s enduring spirit and to walk the same decks that have
carried royalty, celebrities, and travellers from all corners of
the globe.
Each area of the vessel whispers tales from its
illustrious past, offering an atmosphere that can’t be
replicated—a seamless blend of historical preservation and
maritime adventure. From the well-trodden pathways that echo with
the footsteps of its illustrious journey to the carefully
preserved rooms that served as silent witnesses to history, guests
are invited to be a part of the QE2’s unique narrative.
Similarly, dining aboard the QE2 is an epicurean
journey unlike any other. Step aboard and dine like royalty in
settings that have hosted luminaries from across the globe.
Indulge in a unique dining experience that takes you back in time
to enjoy the finest international dishes which once graced the
tables of this grand vessel.
“In celebration of the historic day of 26 November
2008 when the mighty Queen Elizabeth 2 arrived in Dubai, we are
delighted to offer all our guests an exclusive 15% discount on
rooms as well as restaurants namely the Lido Restaurant, Golden
Lion (the oldest pub in Dubai), and Pavilion,” said Ferghal
Purcell, General Manager for Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel, managed by
Accor. “The QE2 is a record-holder for the longest-serving ocean
liner, and has been an integral part of the maritime history. We
look forward to welcoming our guests to join in our 15th
anniversary festivities and be part of the QE2’s ongoing story, a
