IHG Hotels & Resorts Launches A Courtside Moment: Bed on the Baseline

— August 13, 2025 — Marketing
'A Courtside Moment: Bed on the Baseline' is an exclusive IHG Hotels & Resorts experience offered as part of the brand’s seventh year as the official hotel and hotel loyalty program of the US Open Tennis Championships. Available to 'IHG One Rewards' members, this unique opportunity allows the winner and a guest to enjoy a luxurious breakfast in bed positioned directly on the court of Louis Armstrong Stadium, just days after tournament play.

The experience begins with a private black car transfer to the stadium, followed by a concierge welcome and courtside escort. Guests are treated to a gourmet breakfast served room service–style, complemented by plush IHG robes and slippers. A limited-edition 'Watermelon Slice' cocktail, created for the US Open, is served as iconic match highlights play on the stadium’s big screen. Meanwhile, personalized touches, curated IHG merchandise, and photo opportunities complete this memorable, once-in-a-lifetime hospitality experience.
