The Atmosphere

A Refined Table

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.

Evenings at the Table

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.

For Players and Observers

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.

Professional Table Service

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.

The Space

Designed for Focus

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.

Table Service

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.
