NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IHG Hotels &
Resorts created an epic tennis installation inside a room at the
Kimpton Hotel Eventi in New York
City. As the official hotel sponsor of the US Open, IHG is
inviting guests and tennis enthusiasts to the whimsical space to
celebrate the spirit and enduring fanfare of the 140-year-old
tournament.
Tennis fans don't need to fall down a rabbit hole to experience
'Tennis in Wonderland.' IHG will be surprising and delighting
guests on social media, giving them a chance to spend time in the
room. Every detail and room accent has been transformed into a
sports-inspired design, from a tennis racket-chandelier to tennis
ball furniture and larger-than-life 3D wall art.
Starting September 1, IHG will be
inviting guests to the room, where an Epic ambassador will deliver
snacks and specialty cocktails, as they watch the match, hang out
with friends, and take some Insta-worthy photos. It's an entirely
unique match-day experience that captures the energy and excitement
of the US Open.
Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice
President, Global Guest Experience, IHG Hotels & Resorts:
"The 'Tennis in Wonderland' installation is IHG's creative way of
bringing together sports, art, design and hospitality – all
elements that resonate with the passion points of our company and
enable us to create moments in people's lives they will never
forget. We wanted this room to reflect how we approach innovation
and design across our portfolio of brands, and we're thrilled that
we can give our biggest tennis fans a memorable experience through
our partnership with the USTA."
In 2019, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and the United
States Tennis Association (USTA), announced its multi-year
partnership, naming IHG as the official hotel and hotel loyalty
partner for the US Open Tennis Championships. The US Open presents
an exciting way to showcase IHG's travel heritage, vast number of
properties worldwide, and diverse collection of 17 brands and
nearly 6,000 global destinations. IHG has more than 40 hotels
in New York City alone, and IHG
Rewards members can enjoy the benefits of IHG's partnership with
USTA.
The 2021 US Open Tennis Championship will run from August 30 to September 12 at the Billie Jean King
National Tennis Center in Flushing, New
York.
