I have spent the past few days staying at the event hotel, the be.Hotel in the Bay Street Tourist Complex at St. George's Bay in St. Julian's, and have been thoroughly impressed with the modernity and convenience of this place. The Complex itself is a multistorey shopping mall built around an open atrium; hotel guests on meal plans have access to Fornelli, an Italian restaurant, just one of many cafes and restaurants in the building. Across the street is an entertainment district, with a even wider range of dining options, full of revellers every evening.

The view of the bay from the 10th-floor playing room is spectacular; players who do well at this event will be rewarded by being stationed at high-ranked tables with a view of the sea.
