The Most Luxe, Out-of-this World Places to Put a Pool Table

Recently, we wrote about where to put a pool table in your house and were inspired to see where else we could install our favourite game. While most of our articles are practical, we thought it would be fun to imagine some out-of-this-world possibilities.

In this post, we’ll share some of our favourite luxurious places to put a pool table. While some ideas in this article are easily feasible, others require know-how and expertise. From nautical voyages to heights in the clouds, this list should be an inspiration to help you design the billiards room of your dreams.

Most luxurious places to put a pool table

• Dedicated billiards wing
• Penthouse-floor recreation room
• Aboard a yacht
• Cruising on a jet
• Ski lodge
• Custom aesthetic

Elevating billiards at home: beyond the basement

When considering where to put a pool table in your house, the standard place to put a pool table is in the basement. It’s often the go-to choice for many pool table owners. While a basement can make an excellent home for a pool table, if you want to elevate your game, you’ve got to bring your table up a few floors.

A dedicated billiards wing in your estate is a first-class choice. A climate-controlled environment in a museum-like space sets your entertainment complex up for a top-notch experience. Add a Monet and high-end pool cues to your walls for an extra touch of class.

If you’re thinking higher, we like your style. A penthouse-floor recreation room is what you need. Imagine being 80 stories above the New York skyline. Panoramic views of Central Park and Lower Manhattan surround you while you precisely drop balls into the pockets.

Nautical nobility: pool tables on yachts

From our pristine house on land to our home on the seas, let’s explore the open waters.

If you’re in the luxury market, a yacht is likely in your possession or a near-reality. The luxury yacht market has grown 22% in the last decade. Moreover, high-net-worth individuals are looking for more customization for their seaborn vehicles. Without a doubt, adding a pool table to the voyage makes a lot of sense.

However, how do you keep the pool table level while travelling the open seas? Enter gyroscopic pool table for a yacht.

The gyroscopic pool table self-levels was initially designed for medical transport on planes and boats. Like the magic of New York, the technology is a feat that keeps your pool table on an even keel even in rough waters. You can take that maiden voyage and bring your Olhausen pool table.

Sky-high shots: billiards in private jets

If a leisurely cruise isn’t fast enough, how about playing pool in your private jet?

Admittedly, this one is fanatical, but joining the billiards enthusiast’s mile-high club is possible if money is no object.

First, you’ll want to explore a lightweight pool table. We’ve talked about pool table weight before, so this means choosing a non-slate pool table and forgoing heavy cabinet designs that can bloat the weight of a table.

Secondly, you’ll need to consider the size of a pool table. Most common private jets, like the Gulfstream G500 or Learjet 75, are unsuitable for playing pool at 30,000 feet due to their size. However, the larger Boeing Business Jet 787 (BBJ787) or Airbus Corporate Jet 320 (ACJneo) are potential options for your sky-high billiards room.

Pro tip: Before you buy a pool table, try our pool table room size calculator to see if it will fit in your jet.

But if all else fails, you can fly on an Emirates triple-decker airplane that has yet to be built (and probably never will be), which includes a billiards lounge (Please note the date of the post ?).

Billiards at your ski lodge or vacation home

Coming back down to earth, a ski lodge or vacation home makes an excellent location for a pool table. You’ve come to your second home to relax and unwind from the vigors of life in the city. For many, a game of pool is an easy way to unwind from the stresses and enjoy a few moments of entertainment, whether alone or with your esteemed guests.

Installing a pool table at your ski lodge or vacation home is much easier than fitting it into your jet, but the challenge is getting it to a remote location. Consider working with a professional pool table mover to help you plan your escape.

You’ll also want to consider the typical weather conditions of your home away from home. Pool tables are made of weather-sensitive materials, and you’ll want to ensure your room is appropriately climate-controlled.

The pinnacle of luxury

Since billiards was invented 600 years ago, it has been associated with luxury. The game started in the high courts and grew through generations of aristocrats. Before closing out this article, let's leave you with a few last ideas on how to make your pool table stand out as a one-of-a-kind luxury.

Custom aesthetics

Whether you like modern or classic design, a custom-made pool table gives you ultimate control over its aesthetics. Every inch of your pool table can be customized to your liking. Choose your cabinet, felt colour, and even the rail sights that can be configured. You can put your logo on the felt and select a rare wood finish if you want.

All of these customizations lead to a one-of-a-kind pool table that’s your own and fits into your style, whether you put it in your jet or on your yacht.
