IHG Hotels & Resorts, the official hotel and hotel loyalty program of the US Open Tennis Championships, returns for its eighth year with an all-new way to extend the tournament experience beyond the gates: the IHG Racquet Cruiser, a one-of-a-kind, complimentary premium motorcoach that turns the ride home into one last taste of IHG hospitality.

Game, Set, Ride: Introducing the IHG Racquet Cruiser
Enter the IHG Racquet Cruiser, an exclusive motorcoach that carries the spirit of the tournament beyond the grounds, giving fans one final elevated, comfortable moment after the tournament is over.

Inspired by the brand’s signature hospitality, the IHG Racquet Cruiser turns the ride home into a celebration of its own, offering experiences such as Prince St. Pizza slices, express facial treatments, post-match replays, device charging, Wi-Fi, surprise gifting and more to help fans unwind.

Enjoy complimentary rides from Arthur Ashe Stadium to select IHG hotels in Manhattan. Each just steps from major transit hubs like Penn Station and Grand Central, making the trip home effortless.

Following US Open sessions on September 1st and 2nd, guests with US Open tickets for either of these days can enter for a chance to join by visiting the IHG Racquet Bar on participating days and scan a QR code to enter for a chance to join the IHG Racquet Cruiser experience. Participants will be selected at random, subject to availability, and notified by text during the match.

Watermelon Slice Returns to the IHG Racquet Bar
The Watermelon Slice returns for the 2026 US Open, combining Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut, watermelon juice, elderflower liqueur and lime, finished with a signature watermelon wedge. Served in IHG’s bespoke tennis-inspired collectible cup — a lasting souvenir from a memorable US Open — it will be available for purchase at the IHG Racquet Bar.

More Exclusive Offerings for IHG Guests
Throughout the tournament, fans can enjoy on-ground activations and delicious sips at the IHG Racquet Bar, while IHG One Rewards members will have access to additional perks including custom swag and limited-time redemption packages. Loyalty members can even turn their rewards into VIP experiences with all of IHG’s sports partners throughout the year by bidding to redeem them on IHG One Rewards Access.
