We’ve enjoyed a fabulous year at the Queens and wanted to take this opportunity to take a look back at just some of the highlights.

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to the John Jenkins Stadium to support the legendary players of Portsmouth FC – Pompey Charity Squad – against the star-studded FC Global Kickers.

We are so lucky to literally be on the doorstep for all the action at Victorious Festival. We love working with the team who make this incredible event happen and we can’t wait for 2025.
Cosmopolitan’s Commissioning Editor Catriona Innes just loved her stay at the Queens.
“If you like to role play as a hot mess Victorian heiress, who brings scandal on her family by throwing opulent parties and taking secret lovers, you have to stay in The Queens Hotel, which dates back to 1861 and still has a grand, yet hedonistic, vibe. Even if you don’t get your kicks imagining you live an entirely different life (just me?!) it’s still the prettiest place to stay, with herringbone floors, twinkling chandeliers and a ceiling mural to get lost in… and that’s just the lobby,” she said.
One of the first events of its kind for the King’s Trust Change A Girl’s Life initiative was held at the Queens Hotel.
MPs, representatives from The King’s Trust and VIPs were among the attendees of the Freya Rose gala.It was the third gala organised by Freya Rose and DJ Cuppy, ensured there was a cool vibe to keep the party swinging.
Portsmouth based Freya Rose is an internationally famous luxury shoe and jewellery designer. Moreover her designs are sold in famous stores such as Nordstrom and Harvey Nichols
