IHG Hotels and Resorts has returned to the US Open Tennis Championships to bring memorable fan experiences. As the official hotel partner and hotel loyalty program of the US Open, IHG has aimed to celebrate the start of one of the biggest, most prestigious tennis tournaments in the United States for a fifth year.
IHG has kicked off the 2023 US Open with an opening party that is to combine the art of tennis with the company’s legacy in luxury and hospitality. The 2023 partnership with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) will also mark the launch of ‘The IHG Athletic Club,’ a pop-up social club to showcase the true spirit of the tournament where fans can put their racquet skills to the test.
The immersive experience will give New York City locals and IHG One Rewards members the opportunity to show off their love of the sport with activities from pickleball to ping pong. The IHG Athletic Club promises to provide IHG’s exceptional service while enhancing your pickleball skills.
Senior Vice President of Global Guest Experiences at IHG Hotels and Resorts, Brian McGuinness, said there is something electric about New York City during the US Open Tennis Championships.
“At IHG, not only do we provide unmatched hospitality, but we continue to offer unique ways for our guests, loyalty members and tennis fans to experience the US Open like never before. This year, we’re excited to launch The IHG Athletic Club. This pop-up experience brings an actual pickleball court and the competitive spirit of tennis to life inside our very own Kimpton Hotel Event in NYC,” said McGuinness.
In between US Open matches, event attendees will be able to get a taste of IHG’s care for its guests by relaxing with a cold beverage at the Kimpton Lemon Tree Bar. Located on the terrace outside Arthur Ashe Stadium, this shaded outdoor oasis offers the VIP treatment with specialty cocktails and a curated wine-by-the-glass menu. The space will be open from the 28th of August until the 10th of September.
