From celebrations at its New York City hotels hosted by tennis legend Andy Roddick and live entertainment from GRAMMY award winning artist Leon Bridges to luxury travel-inspired pampering, IHG is amplifying this global sporting event in the first of a multiyear partnership with the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
Andy Roddick, Former World No. 1 Professional Tennis Player and US Open Champion, said: “I’m excited to partner with IHG at the US Open. When you’re traveling and focused on performance, it’s necessary to have a hotel you can rely on – one that anticipates your needs and cares for its guests, no matter where you are in the world. And that’s exactly the kind of service I know I’ll receive at an IHG property.”
Just as US Open athletes perfect their game through years of dedication, passion and service to their craft, IHG pushes the boundaries of hospitality to provide an unmatched level of service at its more than 400 luxury and boutique hotels across five distinct brands: Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, Regent Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, and Hotel Indigo.This year, IHG provides unparalleled service at the US Open for tennis fans and IHG Rewards Club members through the following: - Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day (USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center), Aug. 24 – Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts, the official hotel sponsor of Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day, gives families the opportunity to experience the excitement of the US Open first-hand with on-court and hands-on activities.
