Everything under one roof

Play runs from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 November 2026 inside the Montecasino conference and events wing — a dedicated, quiet room set aside for the tournament, with clocks, computerized draws via gammon.gg and full hospitality.

Because the precinct is self-contained, you can stay, eat, play and unwind without ever getting into a car. The hotels sit on the same piazza as the playing room, so the walk from your bed to your board is a matter of minutes.

The Casino
A full casino floor open around the clock, a few steps from the tournament room.
Restaurants & Bars
Dozens of restaurants, bars and coffee spots across the piazza — ideal for the dinner break.
Teatro & Cinemas
A 1,800-seat theatre hosting international productions, plus a full cinema complex.
Bird Gardens
Montecasino Bird Gardens: a landscaped walk-through aviary with daily flight shows.
