Queen Elizabeth 2 to become floating hotel in Dubai | ameinfo.com

After three years sitting idle in Dubai's Port Rashid, the Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise liner is to be converted into a 300-room luxury hotel. The 70,327-ton, 1,791-passenger vessel was bought from Cunard for $100m five years ago by Istithmar, an investment company owned by the government of Dubai. Istithmar initially planned to refurbish the QE2 and showcase it as the main attraction in a maritime-themed development on Palm Jumeirah, but the plan was shelved in the wake of the financial crisis.
