The complimentary shuttle service ferries tournament attendees from Arthur Ashe Stadium directly to select Manhattan hotels, conveniently located near major transit hubs such as Penn Station and Grand Central. Onboard, passengers can unwind with Prince St. Pizza, express facial treatments, and high-speed Wi-Fi, turning a standard transit route into an extension of the hotel stay.

IHG Extends US Open Hospitality With Luxury Shuttle Service
The competition concludes at match point, but IHG Hotels & Resorts is ensuring the experience lingers long after the final serve. For the 2026 US Open, the hospitality brand is launching the Racquet Cruiser, a premium motorcoach designed to transform the post-match commute into a final, curated moment of comfort.
Connor Smith, IHG’s Senior Vice President of Global Brands, noted that the initiative aims to bridge the gap between the stadium grounds and the hotel lobby. Beyond the transport service, the company is reviving its signature Watermelon Slice cocktail at the IHG Racquet Bar within the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The drink, featuring Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut and elderflower liqueur, comes in a collectible tennis-themed cup. Fans interested in securing a seat on the cruiser can register at the Racquet Bar throughout the tournament, which runs from August 23 to September 13 in Flushing, New York.
