Labor Day "Hotel" :: All Aboard the Queen Mary for a Pajama Party

August 27, 2008 at 12:53 PM | by | Comment (1)

If you were wondering where you could dust off your slippers from 1930 and button down to your lounging pajamas then we have the place for you.

If you are still looking for something to do over Labor Day, you must join the Art Deco Festival aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, Calif.

Now technically the Queen Mary is a boat and not a hotel. But the festival is kind of a stellar deal--$650/couple for two nights plus a slough of bashes, lectures and tours, but it's practically a time machine!

You also get to sleep aboard the restored authentic ship which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two nights aboard a ship hurtling through the past! Talk about awesome. In fact, Clark Gable even danced aboard this ship in its heyday.

The real kicker, though, is Friday night's pajama party in the Queen's Salon. Even dessert is included! If you already have lodging plans this weekend, but can't resist a good pajama party, tickets are available for only $10. Just call ahead to save your corner of the dance floor.

Also included in the weekend package are the Friday night Welcoming Reception featuring Jim Ziegler and "The Swingsations," Pajama Party in the Queen's Salon, seven fascinating lectures, the Queen Mary Art Deco Guided Walking Tour, the fabulous Art Deco Ball with "Mora's Modern Rhythmists," and the Sunday afternoon Tea Dance in the Queen's Salon with the "Paul Frederick Orchestra."

You will also enjoy the Queen Mary self-guided Historic Tour, 2-day admission to the Art Deco Bazaar and Marketplace and the Vintage Car Display.

The only thing that sorta concerns us is the cabins inside the Queen Mary. Judging from the photo gallery on the Queen Mary website those rooms haven't been touched since the early 1980s. Time machine, indeed!

Go online for tickets or call (562) 435-3511.
