The Poker Lounge: A Private Clubhouse Within Eliora

An intimate space where the timeless ritual of cards meets contemporary Australian luxury, reserved for guests and members who appreciate refined play.

The Clubhouse Philosophy

A sanctuary for those who appreciate the art of the game

A sanctuary for those who appreciate the art of the game. The lounge is conceived as a retreat from the ordinary, where conversation and play intertwine. Every detail is curated to foster a sense of belonging among guests who value unhurried, thoughtful company.

Every element, from the deep green walls to the soft leather chairs, is chosen to create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The palette of warm neutrals and pine tones, paired with natural wood and brass, encourages relaxation and focus. The result is a room that feels both intimate and expansive, a true extension of the hotel's boutique character.

Access is reserved for hotel guests and members, ensuring an intimate and unhurried experience away from the general public.

The Space

A room designed for comfortable play and easy conversation

The lounge is anchored by a series of bespoke poker tables, each positioned to allow for comfortable play and easy conversation. Generous spacing between tables ensures privacy without isolation, while the low ceiling and soft lighting create an intimate, club-like atmosphere.

  • Low, warm lighting that flatters the room and focuses attention on the table.
  • Rich textures in leather, wool, and timber that absorb sound and soften the space.
  • The soft murmur of conversation, never competing with the game.

A discreet bar offers refreshments, and a small lounge area provides a place to relax between games. The bar serves a curated selection of beverages, and the lounge seating invites guests to pause and enjoy the atmosphere. For dining options beyond the lounge, visit our Dining page.

The Social Experience

Where friendly games and shared stories unfold

The lounge is a place where guests can engage in friendly games, share stories, and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. Whether joining a casual table or a scheduled evening, the atmosphere remains respectful and welcoming. The unhurried pace encourages conversation as much as competition.

"The lounge feels like a private living room where the game is simply an excuse to gather."

Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, the lounge offers an opportunity to refine your skills in a supportive setting. All skill levels are welcome, and the focus is always on enjoyment and connection.

Design Details

A rich, enveloping environment

  • Walnut wood — warm, dark timber used for tables and paneling.
  • Leather — deep green and tan upholstery on chairs and banquettes.
  • Brass — subtle metallic accents on fixtures and table edges.

Custom pendant lights cast a soft glow over each table, ensuring optimal visibility without harshness. The fixtures are dimmable, allowing the lounge to shift from bright afternoon play to a moodier evening atmosphere.

Original artwork and vintage card-themed decor add character and a sense of history. Abstract pieces and curated photography complement the clubhouse feel, while small decorative objects reference the game without dominating the space.
