Fan Week Exclusive: Meet the Pros -On Thursday, August 21, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, hotel guests and patrons of The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen are invited to an exclusive Wine & Cheese hour with a special Meet & Greet with tennis stars Alexandra Eala, Jelena Ostapenko, and Ugo Humbert in The Stinger's Private Dining Room. Fans will have the rare opportunity to grab a selfie, score an autograph, and share a moment with these incredible athletes before they step onto the court.
Tennis-Inspired Decor & Fan Zone -The hotel lobby and serene courtyard will be transformed with tennis-themed décor, creating the perfect photo backdrop. Off the lobby, guests can enjoy a dedicated Fan Zone featuring a table tennis setup and live-stream coverage of the US Open® Tennis Championships – making it the ultimate spot to keep up with the action between matches.
Honoring Billie Jean King- In celebration of the 2025 US Open® Tennis Championships, InterContinental New York Times Square will honor the legendary Billie Jean King with a special appearance – in wax. In partnership with Madame Tussauds New York, King's likeness will be displayed at the hotel, paying tribute to her groundbreaking achievements on and off the court. “Her wax figure commemorates a true icon, a Champion of Change,” said Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “Her fight for equality began on the court-her impact echoes far beyond it. We are honored to present her at the museum since the opening of the museum in November 2000, and now off court at InterContinental New York Times Square, a hotel where tennis greats like Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka have left their mark in past years.”
Signature Cocktails for a Signature Event -Guests can toast to the tournament with official US Open® Tennis Championships beverages, including:
— The Honey Deuce – Grey Goose® Vodka, lemonade, and Chambord®
— The ACEPaloma – Maestro Dobel® Tequila, Fever-Tree® Grapefruit Club Soda, black lava salt, and fresh lime
— Watermelon Slice Cocktail – a spritz-style, bubbly favorite with a refreshing zero-proof version available
As the official drink of the US Open® Tennis Championships, the Honey Deuce will take center stage at a complimentary Grey Goose® tasting event on Thursday, August 28, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen. Guests can sip the signature cocktail, enjoy giveaways, and soak up the electric US Open® atmosphere.
