The InterContinental New York Times Square is gearing up to present a remarkable experience for tennis enthusiasts attending the 2025 US Open Championships. As an official hotel sponsor, it will roll out a series of exciting and immersive activities aimed at captivating tennis fans from around the world. This event promises to be more than just a stay; it offers a spectacular interplay of sports, culinary excellence, and celebrity encounters.
Exclusive Events Just for Fans
Throughout the duration of the tournament, fans visiting the hotel can look forward to engaging on-property activations. On August 21, guests will be treated to a unique Wine & Cheese hour where they can mingle with tennis stars like Alexandra Eala, Jelena Ostapenko, and Ugo Humbert. This event, held in the hotel’s elegant Private Dining Room at The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen, allows fans to grab selfies, collect autographs, and enjoy a rare personal moment with their favorite athletes before they hit the courts.
Tennis-Themed Atmosphere
Stepping into the InterContinental is akin to entering a tennis wonderland. The hotel lobby and tranquil courtyard will be adorned with tennis-themed decorations that create stunning photo opportunities. Additionally, guests can enjoy a dedicated Fan Zone featuring a table tennis setup and live-stream coverage of the US Open, ensuring they can catch all the action between matches.
Celebrating a Tennis Legend
In a heartfelt tribute, the hotel will honor the tennis great Billie Jean King, with a lifelike wax figure unveiled in collaboration with Madame Tussauds New York. Displayed within the hotel, this impressive figure pays homage to King’s groundbreaking contributions to both the sport and advocates for equality in athletics. As Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York, expressed, "Her fight for equality began on the court—her impact echoes far beyond it." The wax figure is not only a celebration of her achievements but a reminder of The Stinger's legacy, where many tennis legends have left their mark over the years.

To get into the spirit of the tournament, guests can indulge in a selection of specially crafted cocktails inspired by the US Open. Among the highlights:
- - The Honey Deuce: A refreshing blend of Grey Goose Vodka, lemonade, and Chambord.
- - The ACE Paloma: A delightful concoction of Maestro Dobel Tequila, Fever-Tree Grapefruit Club Soda, and fresh lime.
- - Watermelon Slice Cocktail: A bubbly favorite, complete with a zero-proof alternative for non-drinkers.
