The Queen Mary's Hotel Areas


After the Queen Mary's arrival in Long Beach, most of the first class cabins (minus 20 on Sun Deck), and the second class cabins on A and B decks were incorporated into the new hotel.

All of the third class cabins (which were very small) and most of the second class cabins were on the current C and D decks. These were all removed to make way for the lower-decks museum that was never completed. In the conversion plan, C deck was to be removed all the way forward, but due to the enormous costs, the plan was never finished.

Though most of the rooms on board originally had two single beds, these have now been replaced with double beds. Many of the cabins are still very original today, though some of the fixtures and fittings have changed.

Typical Hotel Room

Some of the cabins which had extensive work done on them were wallpapered afterwards. Most of the cabins do still have veneered walls though, like the one in this picture: A155.

These next two pictures were sent in by: Jake Schoeder of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. They were taken in modern cabin # M144 (old (Cunard) # M122). Click on them to expand them to full size.

Cabin Door

A connecting door to the next cabin is unused today.

Bathroom

Bathroom Today

This Queen Mary bathroom is mostly original, with 2 taps for salt water, and 2 for fresh. The shower control is modern - fitted after a guest scalded herself in the 1980s because she couldn't work out how to use the original fittings.
