This lounge brings a more laid-back character to the venue, balancing the energy of live sport with a warm, comfortable interior. Upholstered armchairs and timber stools offer seating for every pace — from quick drinks to longer sessions. A mix of textured wall finishes, soft green panelling and patterned carpet tiles helps define the space without overwhelming it. The palette remains calm and grounded, ensuring the screens remain the focal point while the interior supports a steady, enjoyable atmosphere.

The sports lounge is designed as a welcoming, durable environment that encourages guests to settle in for extended viewing. A rich mix of textures gives the room depth without excessive ornamentation. Carpet tiles in a patchwork of blues, greys and charcoals set a confident tone underfoot while providing sound absorption and visual warmth. Their patterning helps animate the space and offers a subtle contrast to the clean geometry of the tabletops and bar frontage.

Two distinct seating styles create flexibility: padded armchairs with timber legs for a more leisurely, lounge-like experience, and bentwood bar stools with upholstered seats for quick access to the counter. The blend ensures the room accommodates both casual visitors and committed sports fans.

Along the walls, soft green vertical panelling introduces a quiet, heritage-inspired detail that ties the lounge back to the broader venue palette. Above, screens are positioned for maximum visibility, supported by a calm, neutral backdrop that avoids glare and distraction. The bar front continues the hotel’s unified language of textured tiles in warm beige tones, pairing durability with a clean, contemporary look.

Ceiling details maintain a low visual profile, allowing lighting to gently highlight key areas without competing with the screens. The overall effect is a sports lounge that feels considered rather than chaotic — a comfortable, practical setting where guests can enjoy the game in a space that still reflects thoughtful interior design.
