As I mentioned earlier in the week, I'm in New York for the US Open, which is at least the second coolest thing I've been invited to as a backup because Ben was out of the country. I remember taking tennis lessons as a kid, but know next to nothing about the game, and have…

Thanks for the video tour! Missed the live stream, but was def nice to get a "real" view instead of just pictures. So teach Lucky, so he can add it to his reviews/ trip reports 😀
I'm going to the US Open next week!. I'm not in a suite or anything but it'll be my third year and I love it. Glad you had a chance to go!
I'm having trouble getting the video to play but I think its a fun idea and great if incorporated into the blog
Great & timely post Tiffany!
I received the invite from SPG to score suite tickets, but they sold out before I could make a move. I'll be there Saturday and Sunday this weekend, and as you'd expect weekends sold out quickly.
I've got to hit the US Open..and a suite is the way to go. A bunch of years ago I made it into the Hitachi tent at the BellSouth Golf tourney in Atlanta...totally awesome to have cool air, reserved seating, chef, cold drinks, and still be able to walk the venue. it's hard to go back to events without the perks!
Does Chase offer any Ultimate Rewards packages like this? I don't have too many Starpoints but got a bunch of Chase points. Seems like they would since they're a major sponsor!
@ Sice -- Chase has a bit of a different setup. They don't have luxury packages, but they do have a suite open to all cardmembers. I don't believe it has a view of the courts though: https://onemileatatime.com/us-open-chase-lounge/
This is a great article! Is there any way you can suggest I can visit the Hospitality Suite? I called spg after reading your article, and they didn't know!
@ Shah Karim -- I believe the packages are sold out for the 2015 sessions, but you'll want to plan ahead for next season!
Any chance you could upload the video to YouTube or some other website that don't require Flash for playback?
@ No Name -- I'm trying, but Periscope has a weird vertical format, so I need to run the video through something else first and...it got complicated, basically. Will keep you updated though!
As an avid tennis fan, I redeemed some SPG points a few years ago to get the SPG suite experience.
We had the best time.
Thanks for the review
OMG this is a dream redemption! If only we have SPG cobranded credit cards here in Singapore...
Hopefully this got you a bit more appreciative of tennis, Tiffany! I'm kinda envious about this experience!
