Friday, 09 May, 2022 0

Global hospitality group Accor is adding the cruise ship, Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), into its portfolio.

Situated in Dubai’s Port Rashid, It becomes Dubai’s first floating hotel.

Taking over operations from May 2022, the cruise ship will undergo upgrades and renovations prior to joining the MGallery Hotel Collection.

Once the renovation is completed, the new MGallery Queen Elizabeth 2 will have 447 rooms, nine food and beverage outlets, meeting rooms, six retail outlets, a swimming pool and a gym.

Accor is collaborating with the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) Investments LLC.

“This is a great opportunity for Accor to expand its footprint in the UAE with the introduction of a unique project which expands the MGallery brand presence in the city” says Mark Willis, CEO of Accor India, Middle East, Africa & Turkey.

”Not only are we in charge of the only floating hotel in Dubai, but we are also contributing the Dubai Urban Master plan 2049”.

“We are confident that once finalised, the MGallery Queen Elizabeth 2 will become a true must-visit attraction.”

Accor currently operates 62 properties in the UAE.
