The Spotlight on The Queen Mary

Sleep Like a Star on the Legendary Queen Mary

Modern hotels are great—but how often do you get to stay aboard a retired 1930s ocean liner? The Queen Mary, permanently docked in Long Beach, offers a once-in-a-lifetime stay filled with vintage glamour and historic charm. Think rich wood paneling, original Art Deco fixtures, and a seriously cool maritime vibe. You’re not just booking a room—you’re boarding a legend.

The ship has been transformed into a unique hotel, complete with 346 original first-class staterooms and 9 elegant suites. Between the spacious sun deck, historic tours, and on-board dining at Chelsea Chowder House & Bar, there’s plenty to explore without ever stepping ashore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive or ride-share from downtown Long Beach’s top music venues, the Queen Mary makes a memorable base for any live show. While it’s lively with tours and events during the day, at night it offers a surprisingly peaceful place to unwind after the encore. The vintage ship layout means rooms are more private than your usual hotel, and with a check-in time of 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s time to sleep in a little after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, Instagram-worthy place to crash
  • Solo travelers wanting a stay that’s as unforgettable as the show
  • Couples turning a concert into a romantic vintage getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet space to recover post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who enjoy unique value-packed stays

Food and Drink Options

Onboard dining is a highlight, with the Chelsea Chowder House & Bar serving up fresh seafood and hearty comfort food—perfect post-show fuel. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the ship’s restaurants stay open late enough for most concert returns. Plus, you're just a short drive or ride-share away from downtown Long Beach’s late-night eats. Breakfast is available on board, so you can grab a bite without leaving the ship.

Nightlife Options

While the Queen Mary itself doesn’t host live music every night, there are frequent paranormal tours, themed events, and historic evenings that keep the vibe festive. For more classic nightlife, head to the nearby downtown Long Beach area with its bustling bars, lounges, and music venues. Prefer a chill nightcap? Grab a drink at the ship’s classy onboard bar and soak in the ocean views.

What People Say

Guests rave about the authentic vintage atmosphere, calling it a true step back in time. Many highlight the ship’s unique design, great photo ops, and surprisingly spacious rooms. Reviewers also love the historical tours and on-deck views of the harbor. It’s not your average hotel stay—and that’s exactly the charm.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t your typical modern hotel, so expect a few quirks. Some reviewers note the ship can be a bit creaky or drafty in spots, and Wi-Fi isn’t always the fastest. Also, it’s a ship—so don't expect elevators on every deck. But for most, these details just add to the character.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to pair your concert night with an unforgettable, vintage stay, the Queen Mary delivers charm, comfort, and a story to tell.

Sauna Room from HELL onboard...

Liked: Beautiful Classic Ocean Liner !! I truly haven't seen her looking so good in Decades! Observation Bar was a lively crowd, Excellent Food, Great Cocktails, & Fun Karaoke!! Promenade Cafe had a lovely Breakfast Buffet, and Thoughtful, Attentive Service Staff.
Disliked: Our (interior) stateroom was stuffy and blisteringly hot. Upon checking with the front desk staff about the temperature, we were assured that although the A/C takes a little while to get going, that by the time we returned from dinner, drinks, & karaoke, it should be cooled down to a comfortable temp. On our return to the cabin (4 Hours Later), the temperature in the room was STILL OVER 80°F!! Once again I reported the problem to the Front Desk, again, and was (rudely) told there was nothing they could do about the temp. I requested an alternate room, to which I was told that I would have to pay for an upgrade if I wanted a cabin with functioning A/C, or a room with a window to open. They didn't even offer a fan. We lay awake All Night Long, making frequent trips out to the deck where it was a cool 60°F. To add "Even More Insult" to an already Bad situation, on our 3rd trip outside to cool down, we were admonished severely by hotel staff for going out on deck in the middle of the night. (As if we had another option to remedy our misery at that point!) On Check-out in the morning, I (again) shared my concerns with Front Desk Staff. Where I was told to write a letter to their sales department for remedy. I've NEVER received a Refund (Partial or Full), an Apology, or even an email acknowledging that our night was Horribly Miserable. Highly Disappointed!!
