Grand Slams and Grand Stays: 9 Luxury Hotels Serving Up the Ultimate U.S. Open Experience in New York City

In late August, the hum of New York shifts to the rhythmic thwack of tennis balls and the cheer of crowds as the U.S. Open takes over the city. While the action unfolds in Queens, Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs serve up their own kind of court-side magic. Hotels across the city are trading in ordinary check-ins for grand slam welcomes, offering everything from match-day perks to signature cocktails inspired by the sport’s most iconic moments. For travelers chasing both the thrill of the game and the indulgence of a polished stay, these nine properties are ready to play a winning set.

Steps from Fifth Avenue shopping and Midtown icons, The Langham is embracing tennis season with its “Love-All” package. Guests enjoy suite accommodations with Langham Club access, a signed racquet or ball from a top-three ranked player, and a one-hour conditioning session with a certified trainer. An embroidered pink Langham tennis visor, tennis-themed cocktails at Ai Fiori, and concierge assistance for private court rentals add to the exclusivity. Even the hotel’s exterior gets in on the spirit—2,000 upcycled tennis balls from Recycleballs will adorn its façade alongside fresh florals.

Set in the dynamic NoMad district, Arlo NoMad blends boutique style with a front-row seat to Manhattan’s energy. The 249 micro-rooms are thoughtfully designed, with Sky View rooms offering wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows that transform the skyline into a living mural. Post-match evenings call for ART NoMad, the rooftop lounge on the 31st floor, where cocktails are paired with panoramic city views worthy of any Instagram feed.

Conveniently near Penn Station and Hudson Yards, Crowne Plaza HY36 is offering guests a limited-time U.S. Open package which includes two signature cocktails from on-site Burgerology, a welcome kit with sunscreen, misting fan, water bottle, poncho, and snacks, plus the “Game, Set, Match” cocktail crafted with Dobel Tequila, the official tequila of the U.S. Open. It’s a smart choice for travelers balancing tournament days with urban exploration.

Formerly The James NoMad, Hotel Seville NoMad now joins Hyatt’s Unbound Collection while retaining its Beaux Arts grandeur. This season, Il Bar will pour a Honey Deuce-inspired cocktail, while pop-up events with tennis wear brand UomoSport bring an added layer of style. Player appearances and a 15% discount code for tournament-goers (valid August 24–September 7) complete the fan-focused offering.

Perfect for those seeking a downtown vibe between matches, Arlo SoHo offers 322 rooms ranging from cozy bunks to spacious suites. Its rooftop lounge invites guests to sink into plush loungers and toast with craft cocktails while enjoying sweeping views over the city’s architectural mix. Step outside, and you’re just moments from cobblestone streets, independent boutiques, and chic cafés that give SoHo its artistic edge.

For those seeking a blend of refined luxury and match-day readiness, The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park delivers. Available August 22–September 8, the package includes luxury accommodations, round-trip transportation to Arthur Ashe Stadium, tennis-themed welcome amenities, and official US Open hats. Between matches, guests can indulge in treatments at La Prairie Spa or unwind at Contour Gastro Lounge & Bar.

A quick eight-minute drive from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the newly opened Westin Flushing LaGuardia Airport offers unmatched convenience for fans prioritizing proximity to the matches. The hotel’s Blu Ember restaurant serves as an upscale dining retreat for pre-match fueling or unwinding post-play in a sophisticated setting.

The Barclay is serving up an indulgent US Open stay from August 25–September 7 with upgraded premium accommodations, tennis-themed welcome amenities, exclusive US Open x IHG® swag, and an in-room Honey Deuce cocktail kit. Courtside flavor continues at the bar with signature cocktails like the Ace Paloma and zero-proof Power by Jack Draper, plus themed in-room dining from a lemon-stuffed “tennis ball” dessert to custom cupcakes.

With Broadway and Times Square as neighbors, Arlo Midtown positions guests in the epicenter of the action. Designed by Meyer Davis, its 325 rooms strike a balance between modern luxury and organic warmth. The rooftop, ART Midtown, serves as a stylish meeting point for locals and travelers, equally suited to post-match celebrations or business-side networking.

Great tennis is all about precision, timing, and a touch of flair, the same qualities these hotels bring to the table during U.S. Open season. Whether you plan to spend your days courtside or simply soaking in the tournament spirit over a crafted cocktail, the city’s hospitality scene is primed for match point. Book a room, pack your visor, and let New York serve you an ace of a stay.
