The Cincinnati Open has unveiled the Garden Suites, an exclusive premium hospitality experience that seamlessly blends luxury, comfort and an immersive connection to the tournament atmosphere. The Garden Suites will offer indoor/outdoor lounging, elite amenities, celebrity chef curated menus and private access to club-style seating just feet away from the world’s best tennis action.
Located at Center Court, the Garden Suites will provide an exclusive blend of privacy and high visibility. Guests can mingle in the private open-air terrace that extends into the communal courtyard or enjoy the climate-controlled interior lounge that features bespoke millwork, moody textiles and accommodating food and beverage service.
The design blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating an environment where the landscape and the suites are intertwined. Extensive plant life throughout the space will be accented by hand-picked, globally sourced fixtures and finishes.
Tournament COO, Jansen Dell, said:
“The Garden Suites are purpose-built to address a desire for a very high-end, premium experience at the Cincinnati Open. The outdoor areas will be lush with plant life and will blend seamlessly with the dramatic, well-appointed interior finishes. These suites will cater to guests looking for an ultra-premium, fully immersive experience.”
The Cincinnati Open is working with Gensler to design the Garden Suites. Gensler is the lead designer for the $260 million transformation that will double the tournament’s campus ahead of the 2025 event.
Elizabeth Pritchett, Interiors Design Director, Gensler, said:
“The interior architecture embraces soft curves reinforcing a sense of organic fluidity, while subtle design gestures, such as textured leathers and ceiling forms inspired by the shape of a tennis racquet and handle, pay homage to the sport itself and create an intrinsic connection to the game.
“These details elevate the space with a sense of timeless sophistication, reflecting both the prestige of the Cincinnati Open and the enduring elegance of tennis.”
Celebrity chef Jet Tila will curate the daily menu for the Garden Suites. Tila is a Food Network star who has appeared on numerous programs while also opening Asian-inspired restaurants all over the country.
The SVB LIVE series of events focus on elevating the live experience through Architecture & Design, Commercialisation, Customer Journey, Fan & Premium Experience, Hospitality, Interiors & Fit-Out, Sustainability and Technology. The 2025 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition is being held in the Lower Ground within the Holte Stand at Villa Park Stadium on October 6th and 7th.
The Cincinnati Open and its official travel partner, Topnotch Tennis Tours, are offering luxury Garden Suite packages, which include a stay at the elegantly appointed, historic Lytle Park Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, round-trip transportation, a welcome dinner, access to tennis clinics and more.
Four Garden Suites will welcome groups of up to 30 guests for each suite-holder, while the fifth, the Garden Club, will be a collective gathering place for up to 50 guests available for purchase on an individual ticket basis.
The 2025 Cincinnati Open will be held August 5-18. In each of the past two years, the men’s and women’s Cincinnati Open singles champions have also claimed the title at the year’s final Grand Slam, the US Open, in September.
