A Courtside Moment: "Bed on the Baseline"

The winner and their guest will be treated to IHG's signature VIP hospitality from the minute they arrive. After a private black car transfer to the stadium, they'll be welcomed by a dedicated concierge and escorted courtside to enjoy a luxurious breakfast, delivered room service–style as they lounge in bed and cozy up with plush IHG robes and slippers.

To complete the setting, guests will sip on IHG's first-ever, limited-edition cocktail available at this year's US Open, Watermelon Slice, while iconic match highlights play on the stadium's big screen. Personalized touches will round out the experience, from curated IHG swag and custom photo opportunities to can't-miss surprises – emphasis on the 'can't miss.'

This exclusive experience is our special way of giving fans the keys to the stadium, unlocking it all to themselves just moments after the world's best players lit it up. It's a chance to soak up the electric energy of the US Open in a way only IHG can deliver."
