The US Open explodes into action on August 28th at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. If you’re trying to convince your significant other to go, don’t worry,it’s only a twenty-minute train ride from Grand Central, so you can start and end your day in the thick of the big city.
IHG ® Hotels & Resorts is the official hotel of the tournament, and saying they’re overqualified for the job is an understatement–they’ve got almost fifty properties in the city. Here’s our pick of the bunch for the Open.
🍎 InterContinental® New York Times Square
An iconic brand in the most iconic location of all. Rising (literally and figuratively) above the placid uniformity of the chain hotels swarming NYC’s tourist district, the InterContinental is a tranquil breath of luxurious air.
Generously sized guest rooms gaze down towards the Square itself or out towards Hudson Bay, while its sleek eatery and cocktail bar, The Stinger, is a crowd-pleaser before heading out on the town. Getting to the tournament is a cinch with subway stations nearby
🏙 Kimpton® Hotel Eventi
Stepping away from the chaos of Times Square and towards the endlessly cool Chelsea neighborhood is the Kimpton Hotel Eventi. Fresh from a major revamp, the Eventi’s garnering a reputation as one of the best hotels in the city.
Even standard rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows, but their sprawling Hudson views pale in comparison to the hotel’s spectacularly design-forward communal spaces. Dripping with sophistication and owning a personality so often lacking in big brand properties, guests fall in love with its three restaurants, high-tech touches, and downright enviable location. Â
🎾 voco® Fiorello - LaGuardia East
For the tennis aficionado, proximity to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is a must. Tick that box with the brand new voco® Fiorello - LaGuardia East. Located just three miles from the courts, the hotel’s playful throwback airline decor is a delight and best-enjoyed with drink in hand in the
lobby cocktail bar.
Simple, but bursting with character, guest rooms are modern and comfortable, while the on-site gym helps keep you on track even while traveling. Beyond the Open, it places guests within striking distance of Mets games and Flushing Meadows, one of the lesser-explored corners of New York City.
