Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel - A historic floating hotel with heritage tours, first-class dining venues, and authentic maritime accommodations

Housed in the legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner, this unique Dubai hotel offers an immersive maritime experience in Port Mina Rashid. The 4-star property features original porthole windows providing views of the Arabian Gulf or Dubai skyline. Classic rooms serve as cozy sanctuaries with king beds and period furniture, while premium Captain's Rooms include private balconies bringing guests closer to the water. Queen Elizabeth 2's culinary offerings span from the fine-dining Queen's Grill, serving nine-course tasting menus based on the ship's 1969 maiden voyage, to The Golden Lion - Dubai's oldest pub decorated with commemorative shields. The Lido restaurant provides all-day dining with Arabic mezze and full English breakfast options. Located in Bur Dubai, the property sits near Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and the Dubai World Trade Centre, with complimentary shuttle service available to key attractions.

Pros

Original ship interiors preserved with period furniture and maritime memorabilia

Heritage tours available with former crew members sharing historical insights

Traditional English pub screens live sports events

Afternoon tea service offers both Cunard and Britannia experiences with hot and cold canapés

Cons

Located in one of Dubai's older districts, away from newer attractions

Some rooms have limited space due to original ship cabin layout

“The Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel offers a singular experience: staying aboard a historic ocean liner, now permanently docked in Dubai. While some areas show their age, the chance to explore this meticulously preserved ship, with its unique heritage tours and dining, feels genuinely special. It's a memorable alternative to conventional hotels, especially for those drawn to maritime history.”
