US Open-

IHG Hotel & Resorts is the offical hotel and hotel loyalty partner for the US Open 2019. Last week I attended an incredible event hosted by IHG at the Kimpton Eventi Hotel. 

There was a live performance by Leon Bridges + a table tennis match featuring Andy Roddick vs. Monica Puig. The entertainment was beyond and the ambiance matched. They transformed the Kimpton Eventi Hotel into a tennis lovers dream with delicious cocktails named after famous tennis players and tennis inspired decor . 

I know that many people can’t make it to the US Open but if you live in NYC or are visiting, you can go to the Kimpton Eventi Hotel to watch the matches in their courtyard! It is open to the public.
