Coral Stay · Napier
Welcome to the Coral Stay Poker Lounge, a refined space where guests gather for friendly, social card play in an atmosphere of coastal sophistication.
The Physical Experience
The lounge is built around three tactile essentials: handcrafted tables, quality cards, and symbolic chips. Each element is chosen to make the game feel considered, comfortable, and entirely free of stakes.
Our poker tables are custom-made from pale timber, featuring a smooth felt surface and subtle Art Deco inlay. Seating for up to eight players per table and an ergonomic design make extended play comfortable, while each table is maintained to the highest standard.
We provide premium playing cards that are replaced regularly to ensure a crisp, enjoyable game. Standard 52-card decks are inspected before each session and are available in multiple colors for variety.
Our chips are purely symbolic, used to keep score and add to the tactile pleasure of the game. Made from clay composite with a satisfying weight and color-coded for easy tracking, they hold no monetary value and are returned after play.
Art Deco Ambiance
The lounge's design pays homage to Napier's celebrated Art Deco architecture, with geometric patterns, polished surfaces, and a palette of sand, seafoam, and coral. Original Art Deco light fixtures cast a warm glow over terrazzo flooring with subtle geometric inlays, while furniture with clean lines and elegant curves completes the room.
Etiquette and House Style
The lounge maintains a relaxed yet respectful atmosphere. We ask all guests to observe a few simple guidelines to ensure everyone enjoys their time.
Hours and Location
The lounge is open daily from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, subject to hotel events.
The lounge is located on the ground floor, adjacent to the main lounge and bar, with easy access from the lobby.
Joining a Game
Joining a game is simple. Guests may inquire at the front desk or speak with lounge staff during opening hours.
No reservation is required, but seating is first-come, first-served.
A Refined Pastime
“The poker lounge adds a layer of refined entertainment to your stay—a unique way to socialize and enjoy an evening without leaving the hotel.”
It complements the hotel's dining and relaxation offerings, provides a sophisticated alternative to typical hotel amenities, and encourages connection among guests in a tasteful setting. The lounge is a social, not competitive, space where the pleasure of the game is its own reward.

A Social Sanctuary
Designed for Conversation
The lounge is a sanctuary for relaxed social interaction, where the focus is on the pleasure of play and the company of fellow guests. Soft lighting and comfortable seating encourage lingering, while the space remains intimate yet open, with room for small groups to gather naturally.
Art Deco motifs and coastal colors create a unique ambiance that feels both timeless and welcoming. Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, the lounge offers a quiet escape to unwind after a day of exploring Napier. There is no pressure to play—guests are welcome to observe, socialize, and enjoy the atmosphere as an extension of the hotel's relaxed hospitality.
It is an ideal setting for pre-dinner conversation or late-evening gatherings, where the rhythm of the game is always secondary to the warmth of the room.
