The Mark Hotel is leaning fully into New York’s most electric tennis weekend with a $500,000 US Open experience designed for guests who want the tournament, the city and the hotel all at maximum volume.
Created for up to six guests, The Mark Grand Slam Extravaganza centers on a four-night stay in The Mark Penthouse during the 2026 Men’s Semifinals and Final weekend.
It’s less a hotel package than a private New York itinerary, with championship tennis, a session with John McEnroe, dining from two of the hotel’s headline culinary names and a sail through the harbor folded into one weekend.
At a glance
- The Mark Hotel has introduced a $500,000 US Open weekend experience for up to six guests.
- The package includes The Mark Penthouse, tickets to the Men’s Semifinals and Final, and a private tennis session with John McEnroe.
- A portion of proceeds will support the John McEnroe Tennis Academy and its work with young athletes.
A Penthouse base for championship weekend
The four-night stay places guests in The Mark Penthouse, the hotel’s top-floor private residence above Madison Avenue.
For US Open weekend, it becomes a base camp between Flushing Meadows and the Upper East Side, with dedicated chauffeured transportation arranged throughout the itinerary.
The package includes six tickets to the Men’s Singles Semifinals on Friday, September 11, and six tickets to the Men’s Singles Final on Sunday, September 13.
That access puts guests at the center of the tournament’s decisive weekend without sacrificing the privacy and control of a highly serviced hotel residence.
Between matches, the Penthouse adds its own recovery rhythm, including private access to a Technogym fitness center and a smart cold plunge with views across the Manhattan skyline.
Private court time with John McEnroe
The rarest part of the itinerary is a private tennis session with John McEnroe at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy.
McEnroe remains one of the defining figures of modern tennis, not just for his competitive record but for the way his feel, instinct and commentary continue to shape how the sport is understood.
For guests, the session offers something more personal than a celebrity appearance, placing them on court with a champion whose name is woven into the US Open’s cultural memory.
A portion of proceeds from the $500,000 package will benefit the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, supporting its mission to broaden access to high-level coaching and development opportunities for young players.
Jean-Georges, Caviar Kaspia and a harbor sail
The weekend also draws on The Mark’s hospitality ecosystem, with bespoke dining from The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspia at The Mark.
Those menus extend beyond the hotel through a private charter aboard The Mark’s 70-foot Herreshoff sailboat, departing from Chelsea Piers at the guests’ leisure.
The sail moves through New York Harbor and past the Statue of Liberty, with champagne, skyline views and onboard dining by Jean-Georges Vongerichten or Caviar Kaspia at The Mark.
Back at the Penthouse, the terrace becomes a natural evening setting for cocktails above Central Park and the city, especially after a long afternoon at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
The appeal for tennis collectors of experience
At $500,000, The Mark Grand Slam Extravaganza is clearly aimed at a very specific kind of luxury traveler.
It’s for guests who value access and ease as much as spectacle, and who would rather experience finals weekend as a fully choreographed private stay than assemble the moving parts themselves.
The strongest detail is the way the package links the athletic, social and cinematic sides of New York in September.
There’s the intensity of the US Open, the intimacy of a McEnroe session, the height of the Penthouse and the release of sailing past Lower Manhattan with a glass of champagne.
For a group of serious tennis followers or a family marking a major occasion, The Mark has shaped the weekend into a polished, distinctly New York expression of championship travel.
