Queen Elizabeth 2, Nakheel Properties, Dubai, UAE
On November 26th, 2008 QE2 arrived in Dubai completing her ultimate voyage, the culmination of 40 year’s of service as the world’s most famous ocean liner. Once renovated and refurbished, QE2 will be a seven-star luxury hotel and wellness centre, permanently moored off Dubai’s man-made island, Palm Jumeirah where she will be the focal point of a luxurious precinct that will house a maritime heritage museum, residential and retail developments, restaurants, cafes and beautiful English gardens; all dedicated to her and designed to recreate an authentic luxury ocean liner ambience and lifestyle..

BG Studio International will be instrumental in creating this new chapter in QE2’s great history. BGSI is designing several signature spaces including the flagship Queen’s Grill; the Britannia Grill; the Princess Grill; a Whiskey bar and a Martini bar.

Ultimately, as  one of the most distinctive maritime conversions, the funnel of this iconic ocean liner will be architecturally reconstructed into an ultra-luxe penthouse residence which will integrate leading edge technology and precious materials to become the most unique and exclusive home in the world.
