Accommodation and buy-in packages are available now for this year’s Battle of Malta giving players the chance to sort out all their travel and tournament requirements at the same time.
The packages are available exclusively through MainEventTravel, the Official Travel Partner for Battle of Malta, with four- to seven-night stays at the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel. This year’s Battle of Malta is running October 15-22 with a €1 million guarantee for the €555 buy-in Main Event and more than 30 tournaments on the schedule.
The 5-star Intercontinental Hotel – Malta’s largest 5-star hotel – provides unrivalled convenience for players; it’s located in the same property as the tournament area, so guests are only minutes away from all the action in the spectacular Eden Arena.

Battle of Malta Event Director Diane Fenech said: "Staying at the Intercontinental is a really great experience; there’s an amazing atmosphere during the Battle of Malta and nothing beats the luxury of being able to get to the tournament area from your bedroom in just a few minutes! The Intercontinental is a fabulous hotel and located right in the heart of St Julian’s, close to numerous great bars, restaurants and clubs.
“Malta is a dream location for a poker tournament and October often has amazing weather which all helps make Battle of Malta a true must-attend tournament on any poker player’s calendar. We were staggered by the turn-out last year and looking forward to welcoming even bigger numbers for this year’s event."
