The Queen Mary

About

Permanently docked at 1126 Queens Hwy in Long Beach, California, the Queen Mary stands as a storied historical landmark that offers visitors a unique opportunity to step back in time. This 90-year-old ocean liner serves as both a hotel and a living museum, where guests can explore authentic, well-preserved spaces ranging from the massive engine and boiler rooms to the historic Churchill War Room. With a solid 4.4 rating from over 28,000 reviews, the ship is frequently praised for its vintage charm, craftsmanship, and the dedicated efforts of a staff noted for being friendly, courteous, and highly knowledgeable about the vessel’s deep history. For those planning a visit, the experience is often described as an immersive journey into the past, complete with self-guided tours and specialized historical excursions. While the ship maintains its original character—meaning guests should expect vintage, low-tech accommodations rather than modern hotel amenities—many find the atmosphere, from the polished brass to the teak flooring, to be an unforgettable stay. Whether visitors are drawn by the ship’s reputation for paranormal activity, its fascinating mechanical engineering, or its convenient proximity to the local cruise terminal, the Queen Mary remains a distinct destination for those who appreciate maritime history and a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
