The breathtaking Drawing Office Two is where many of the world’s most famous ocean liners, including RMS Titanic, were designed. The same craftsmen who worked on the great liners created the fine plasterwork in the room and the Villeroy & Boch tiles that encircle the main bar are the same as the ones used for Titanic’s swimming pool and First Class bathrooms!

Who else can't wait to unwind at Drawing Office Two?
