Torbay Chess Congress - Venue
We are delighted that the 2024 Torbay Congress will be held at the TLH Toorak Hotel, Torquay.
The TLH Toorak Hotel is located on Chestnut Avenue - just across the road from the Riveria International Centre, home of the British Chess Championships five times since the year 2000.
For guests who book overnight accommodation direct with the hotel, car parking is free for residents staying at any of the hotels at TLH Leisure resort. If you are taking advantage of this offer, you should give your vehicle registration number to Reception at the Toorak when you first arrive. For alternative car parks, we suggest the Torre Valley Car Park, Torre Valley, Torquay, TQ2 5JY, which has a winter tariff of £3.30 for up to 17 hours, and where you can pay by RingGo (location code 15841).
The hotel is about 650m from Torquay Station - about an 8 minute walk.
At least three of the tournaments will take place in the Chatsworth Suite. Depending on numbers, further rooms in the hotel may be used to provide additional playing areas. If all four tournaments can be accommodated in the Chatsworth Suite with comfortable playing conditions, this is what we wiil do. A separate room will serve as the Analysis Room.
With a spacious bar and a luxurious dining room, indoor swimming pools, a luxury spa, a gym, and free WiFi in all public rooms, there is no need for Congress participants to leave the TLH Leisure Resort - notwithstanding the delights of Torquay.
The TLH Toorak Hotel is offering dinner for Congress participants at 6.00pm on the Friday night. On the Saturday and Sunday a special chess light lunch will be offered to participants (orderable before the start of play each morning).
