We'll be taking a look at A-Deck today! 1st Class is located amidships, with most of the cabins still intact and used by the hotel. 2nd Class is located towards the stern, and 3rd Class is located near the bow, both these areas rooms have been modified to accommodate hotel guests. The rooms were too small so most of the time they turned 4 cabins into 1. 2nd Class had a Lounge near the stern that's been heavily modified, but we only get to see it though a window. 3rd Class also had a Smoking Room on this deck, but we'll be saving that for a future video. We'll also look around at the intricate marquetry panels that are on display in the hotel lobby. These used to be in various 1st Class Staterooms before her conversion to a hotel.
