The Atmosphere
The lounge is designed for focused, unhurried play with professional dealers and a quiet, comfortable setting. Low lighting and leather chairs create a discreet environment, while table service remains attentive without interrupting the rhythm of the game.
Sessions are structured, with clear start and end times, and a house style that favours considered play. Scheduled evening sessions begin with a short welcome, house rules are explained at the start, and the atmosphere remains social rather than high-stakes.
Whether you are an experienced player or simply curious, the lounge welcomes guests who appreciate the game. Beginner-friendly table introductions are available, an observation area offers a comfortable view, and staff can explain the flow of play before you join.
Dealers and lounge staff are trained to keep the evening calm and well-paced. Drinks and light dishes are served discreetly at the table, and the room remains separated from the hotel's other spaces so the focus stays on the cards and conversation.
What We Play
The lounge hosts a small, curated selection of poker variants suited to a refined evening. Each session follows a clear structure so guests know what to expect from arrival to close.
All play is strictly in-person and venue-based. No online gambling or wagering is offered.
Sessions are designed to be social and unhurried, with clear pauses for refreshment and conversation.
The Space
The lounge is a dedicated space with custom tables, soft lighting, and sound-dampening materials to keep the evening calm. Custom-built poker tables are paired with adjustable lighting per table, while acoustic treatment reduces background noise so conversation and play remain clear.
Food and Drink
A discreet table-service menu and the hotel's broader dining options make the poker evening complete.
A discreet table-service menu offers light dishes and a curated selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Small plates and finger food are available throughout the session, alongside coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine, and spirits by the glass.
Guests are welcome to dine at the hotel restaurant before or after their session, with reservations recommended. The restaurant is open for dinner, and lounge staff can assist with bookings so the transition from table to dining room feels effortless.
Our Approach
The poker lounge is a social venue, not a gambling operation. We encourage mindful play and provide clear house rules so every guest can enjoy the evening with confidence.
