Four US Open Suites Demonstrate the Competition’s Relationship with Design

Circumnavigating the third floor of Arthur Ashe Stadium, the center stage of the US Open for the last 29 years, a series of suites bridge the elite sport on display below with the accompanying lifestyle that brand partners promote. Through enveloping design, four newly imagined suites—belonging to Grey Goose, Emirates, Ralph Lauren, and Moet & Chandon—establish a lens into tennis through an exciting, ephemeral sense of place specific to this moment in New York.

Designed in partnership with Paris-based studio Servaire, the Grey Goose suite is tasked with more than welcoming VIPs into a reprieve from the intensity of the tournament. It acts as a spiritual home for the Grey Goose Honey Deuce cocktail, the official cocktail of the US Open, with some 738,459 sold in 2025. For the suite’s design, “We started with one simple principle: tennis is the context, not the costume,” Nathalie Guitard, Global Director, Innovation & Integrated Programs – Grey Goose, tells Surface. “The energy, ritual, and spectacle of the US Open are already all around you; the suite did not need to recreate them.”

The US Open lasts for 22 days this year. “Ephemerality actually heightens the experience,” Guitard says. “A great hotel stay is temporary too; its value lies in how it makes you feel and what you remember. We approached the suite in the same way. I often return to the idea of ‘less material, more meaning,’ and an ephemeral space is a particularly interesting expression of that principle because its value cannot depend on permanence. It has to reside in the quality of the experience and the memory it leaves behind.”

Servaire balanced Grey Goose blues with warm wood, tactile finishes, lighting, flowers, and clean architectural lines. “That contrast keeps the room recognizably ours while making it feel bright, calm, and welcoming,” Guitard says. “Materiality is what really shifts the experience away from a traditional stadium suite and toward the design language of modern luxury hospitality. The runway-inspired carpet creates a journey, welcoming guests into the suite, inviting them to enjoy a cocktail and discover the space before revealing the match beyond.”

The centerpiece of the 1,579-square-foot Emirates Suite is, for the first time, a bar familiar to anyone who has flown on the airline’s A380 planes. Supporting the mirrored A380 Bar is interior design that emulates the airline’s premium cabins, from the color palettes to woodgrain finishes and cream leather seating. Featured in artwork throughout the suite is Emirates’ global tennis ambassador, reigning two-time US Open champion, and World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.

Unifying Moët & Chandon’s design ethos across the US Open is the introduction of Club de Tennis, an amalgam of the celebratory rituals surrounding the athletic event. As such, the maison’s aptly titled Club de Tennis Suite features a photocall appointed with oversized tennis balls, tall chairs that reference those found on the court, and walls dressed with rackets, tennis details, and heritage images. A final touch: a proprietary machine that produces the Moët Serve, a made-to-order cocktail featuring Moët Ice Impérial.

Perhaps most transportive, Ralph Lauren’s suite experience emulates the rarefied environs of The Polo Bar, with a tennis touch, through channeled saddle leather banquettes, oak floors, and hammered brass accents. High-gloss white paneled walls lend a sophisticated vibrance—while Ralph Lauren Home pieces, including the Holbrook Director’s Chair, Holton Throw Pillow in Navy and White, Coraline Crystal Vase, Bailey Wicker Tray & Box, and more, punctuate with purpose. Even the champagne is chilled in Ralph Lauren Home’s silver Durban Centerpiece Bowl.
