Located in central Tallinn, the venue has long been synonymous with major live poker events in the Baltic region. The premium hotel offers the perfect, spacious setting for a massive tournament series, ensuring a comfortable grind for players. 

Beyond the exceptional cardroom facilities, the central location provides easy access to the city itself. When players step away from the felt, they can easily explore Tallinn's famous medieval Old Town, enjoy its vibrant nightlife, and experience the unique charm that makes the city a premier destination for live gaming events.
