The Project

This project required a complete refurbishment to operate as a 5-star floating Hotel. The QE2 required modernization and updates to equip it for the Dubai environment while safeguarding its celebrated heritage and tradition. Because it was built several decades ago, the modernization required changing and replacing some materials to bring it into accordance with new safety codes. The hot climate of Dubai also meant that new MEP considerations were required to accommodate guests even at the hottest times of the year. While the hotel was to retain its heritage, the restaurant and bar was to be completely refurbished to appeal to new guests.

Our Appointment

We were appointed to manage the tendering process, contract award and detailed management of a programme of works to refurbish and upgrade 47 suites and exclusive bedrooms alongside the wholesale refurbishment of the Queens Restaurant and Bar. One of the main challenges of carrying out refurbishment on a ship is that some of our work had to be timed in line with the changing tide to ensure uniformity of distribution of material. For example, we had to make considerable effort to avoid instances of uneven pours of flooring material in the restaurant. Elevated safety standards to the limited evacuation routes aboard the ship also added to the unique challenge.
