ATLANTA, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IHG Hotels & Resorts returns to the US Open Tennis Championships for the sixth year as the official hotel partner and hotel loyalty program, bringing a long-standing cultural debate around the sport to life: is a tennis ball green or yellow?

The 'IHG Rally Room': Is a Tennis Ball Green or Yellow?
For years, people on the internet have been rallying back and forth on the color of a tennis ball. Even the G.O.A.T.s themselves have weighed in with differing opinions. The question still remains among Americans...is a tennis ball green or yellow?

Asking tennis fans to weigh in, IHG Hotels & Resorts discovered the nation's opinions are split. Fifty-six percent of Americans believe a tennis ball is yellow, while 44% are convinced it's green*. IHG is embracing this light-hearted debate by launching an over-the-top, tennis-ball-themed suite that caters to both sides of the court: the 'IHG Rally Room.'

This exclusive suite, available at Kimpton Hotel Eventi in New York City and Hotel Indigo Atlanta Downtown, is sliced down the middle by a tennis court centre line, with one half featuring bright green décor and the other half showcasing striking yellow touches. The nation might be divided on the color of a tennis ball, but with IHG, guests are offered true hospitality no matter what side they're on.

Connor Smith, VP of Masterbrand & Partnerships at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said:
"Whether a tennis ball is green or yellow is up to our guests to decide. We love how the 'IHG Rally Room' taps into this fun conversation at a time when all eyes are on tennis during the US Open, where IHG is a proud, longstanding partner."

The Green Side Features:

  • Dynamic mix of bright green décor, including a mini tennis ball-filled lamp, plush green rug, and stylish green throw pillow and blankets
  • Chic candy bowl filled with green candies
  • Electric green low-top sneakers, a visor, and a tennis racquet to complete the ultimate tennis-themed look

The Yellow Side Features:

  • Vivid array of yellow décor, such as a mini tennis ball-filled lamp and a cozy yellow rug
  • Retro charm with a classic yellow telephone and clock
  • Vibrant yellow high-top sneakers, a baseball cap, and a tennis racquet to elevate your US Open look

The suite is available for booking starting today for stays beginning Aug. 26 for a maximum of two-night stays throughout the two weeks of the US Open main draw. To reserve the suite, email ExperienceIHG@ihg.com. Occupancy is limited and subject to availability.
