Think high ceilings, marble columns and a grand glazed cupola – and believe it or not, that’s just the entrance lobby. The Queens Hotel quite literally has it all from grand celebration spaces adjoining our beautiful garden to more intimate spots that have more of a speakeasy vibe. And when the party draws to a close, our beautiful bedrooms offer the perfect place to relax with big comfortable beds and delightful bathrooms, helping to make your stay truly memorable.
