CROWN HOTELS: SPOILT FOR CHOICE CROWN PROMENADE Offering 465 rooms over 23 floors, including <strong>18</strong> studios and 3 suites, Crown Promenade’s spacious guestrooms provide panoramic views of the city, Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay. Crown Promenade is located on the block behind Crown Towers, and while it is not as luxurious as its 6-star older sister it offers modern, stylish rooms. Add in the state-of-the-art leisure facilities including an indoor 25-meter infinity pool, two outdoor deck areas, steam rooms and a gymnasium and you can see why it is such an attractive option. Crown Promenade also features a purpose-built conference center, the 280-seat Mesh restaurant and the 80-seat Tonic Bar. This is one of Melbourne’s finest hotels and is almost constantly booked out. Access to the main gaming floor from Crown Promenade is over an air bridge. Crown Promenade is wonderfully decked out in a modern style and caters fantastically to those travelling with a friend looking for the twin option. With a pumping bar downstairs this is the property that has historically hosted the Aussie Millions closing party, which is an event you won’t want to miss! For more information and booking visit www.crownpromenade.com.au. For those travelling on a tight budget there are some cheaper options available off site, but in our opinion you should get in quick and get a room at Crown – because once you factor in the cost of taxis and the convenience of staying where you play the best option is clearly to stay at one of the three magnificent Crown hotels. POKER ROOM RATES • Crown Promenade AU$265 per night • Crown Metropol AU$320 per night • Crown Towers AU$370 per night • All rooms include free internet for up to two devices Visit our website www.wgm8.com to read and comment on every article ever published by World Gaming. 44 #<strong>18</strong> WSOP 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE
