Game, Set, Stay: NYC Hotels Going All Out for the US Open

Flushing has the tennis. Manhattan has the cocktails. As the US Open takes over New York, some of the city’s best hotels are making a convincing case for keeping the tournament going long after you leave the grounds. Honey Deuces are being poured above Central Park and Times Square, matches are taking over rooftop screens, and one Midtown hotel has even worked tennis into breakfast, Champagne hour, and everything in between.

Whether you have tickets at Arthur Ashe or would rather follow the action from a rooftop with a proper drink in hand, these are the NYC hotels bringing a little courtside energy back to Manhattan.

Park Lane New York

Few places can compete with a Honey Deuce overlooking Central Park. Park Lane New York is leaning into tournament season with its own take on the US Open ritual, pairing the signature vodka, lemonade, and raspberry cocktail with some particularly photogenic tennis-inspired touches. Hotel guests can also find an in-room pastry fashioned with a miniature tennis racket, giving the whole affair just enough whimsy without turning your room into a theme park. For those looking to trade the crowds of Flushing for Central Park views, this may be the chicest way to keep score.

Hard Rock Hotel New York

At Hard Rock Hotel New York, the US Open starts with coffee and can very easily end with Champagne. Sessions Restaurant & Bar is serving Lavazza’s Caffe Emiliano each morning, combining cold brew, cherry syrup, cold foam, and cocoa, before switching gears in the afternoon with the tournament’s requisite Honey Deuce.

Upstairs at RT60 Rooftop Bar & Lounge, the mood gets considerably more celebratory. Matches play across the screens while guests take in Midtown views with Moët & Chandon by the glass, oysters, fries, and bottles of Moët Impérial, Ice, and Rosé. There is also a playful Moët Ice Serve available throughout the tournament, making Hard Rock one of the rare places where your US Open day can reasonably progress from cold brew to vodka to Champagne without changing addresses.

Broken Shaker New York

For something a little more downtown, Broken Shaker New York is bringing the tournament to the rooftop of Freehand New York. From August 25 through September 12, the Gramercy spot is pouring the classic Honey Deuce alongside an Ace Paloma, its tequila-forward answer to tennis season.

Matches will be shown during regular business hours, so it works just as well for following an afternoon draw as it does for settling in later with cocktails and skyline views. Add Broken Shaker’s usual lineup of bites and drinks, and it is an easy option for anyone who likes their tennis with significantly more rooftop.

Bowtie Bar

Times Square may be several subway stops from Arthur Ashe Stadium, but Bowtie Bar is bringing one of the tournament’s most recognizable traditions to Midtown. Located inside the Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel, the bar is serving a limited-time Grey Goose Honey Deuce throughout the US Open.

The setting is part of the appeal. Floor-to-ceiling views put Times Square directly outside while the Honey Deuce provides the familiar combination of vodka, lemonade, raspberry, and those unmistakable honeydew “tennis balls.” It is an especially convenient option for anyone pairing the tournament with Broadway, dinner, or a Midtown stay.

Daintree at Merchant LES

Downtown tennis fans can head to Daintree, the rooftop bar atop Merchant LES, where the US Open is playing out against Lower East Side skyline views. The rooftop is showing matches throughout the tournament while serving the Ace Paloma, created in partnership with Dobel Tequila.

It is less about recreating the stadium experience and more about enjoying the tournament the New York way: several stories above Orchard Street, cocktail in hand, with the city stretching out behind the screen. For anyone staying downtown, it makes a particularly good home base between matches, dinners, and whatever the Lower East Side has planned afterward.

The trek to Queens remains essential for anyone who wants the real thing, but tennis season has officially become a citywide affair. From Central Park pastries and Midtown Champagne to downtown rooftops and enough Honey Deuces to cover several sets, these hotels are making sure the US Open does not end when the final point of the day is called.
