Queen's Club Hospitality: WTA vs ATP — Which Tournament, Which Package?

Two weeks of world-class grass court tennis at the same venue. Here's how to decide which week to attend, and which package makes sense for you.

In 2025, Queen's Club changed. Women's professional tennis returned to West Kensington for the first time in over fifty years, turning what had always been a single week of men's ATP tennis into a two-week double-header: WTA500 from Monday 8 to Sunday 14 June 2026, followed by ATP500 from Monday 15 to Sunday 21 June. The same venue, the same grass, the same Clubhouse, the same hospitality spaces — but two entirely different tournaments with different players, different rhythms, and in some cases different hospitality lineups.

If you are deciding between the two, or trying to match a hospitality package to the right week and the right group, this guide is for you.

The WTA vs ATP question — which week should you attend?

The honest answer depends on what you are coming for.

The ATP week is the one with the deeper history at Queen's. Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper are confirmed for 2026, joining a field of men who have been preparing for Wimbledon on grass all season. The ATP500 at Queen's is six times voted the best ATP500 in the world. The tennis is fast, aggressive, and technically brilliant — this is the event where serve-and-volley is still a viable tactic and where grass-court specialists announce themselves every June.

The WTA week is newer, more exciting in the sense that it is still finding its identity, and carries a specific weight in 2026 as only its second edition. Emma Raducanu on home soil, Jessica Pegula, and 2025 finalist Amanda Anisimova are the confirmed names. Tatjana Maria won the inaugural 2025 edition in one of the most surprising results of the women's grass-court season — the field is genuinely open, which makes for compelling tennis. If you follow the women's game or want to be part of a moment that feels historically significant, the WTA week carries that quality.

For a corporate hospitality group where the tennis is important but the day itself is the primary event, either week delivers equally well. The venue, the packages, and the West London setting are identical. The difference is the players on the court.

The hospitality lineup — what's available and where the two weeks differ

Six packages appear across both tournaments: Love Fifteen, Club Lounge, The President's Room, Real Tennis Museum, Real Tennis Dedans, and HerStory at Tennis (WTA only, Thursday and Friday of the WTA week). The ATP500 additionally offers the Roof Garden and The View, which are not available for the WTA week.

This is not a trivial difference. The Roof Garden is one of the most popular packages at Queen's and its absence from the WTA lineup means the mid-tier outdoor experience that many groups gravitate toward is simply not available during that week. If a rooftop terrace with a three-course lunch and open bar is what you have in mind, the ATP week is your only option.

The View, which launched in 2025 and offers the most innovative and informal hospitality experience in the lineup — roaming Smoking Lobster small plates, a live sushi station, DJ, pamper space, and a dual-sided balcony over the outer courts — is also ATP only. If your group wants something that feels like a well-hosted party rather than a corporate lunch, this is the package and the ATP week is the week.

Package by package — who each one is right for

Love Fifteen is the entry point for both tournaments and the most flexible in terms of group size. Bottomless bar, seasonal buffet, private courtyard garden, and Centre Court East Stand seats. It caters to any number from two upward, has no minimum age restriction, and is fully accessible at ground level. Right for: first-time hospitality guests, large mixed groups, anyone who wants good value without formality. Available both weeks. From £525 per person plus VAT for the ATP, with WTA pricing slightly lower.

Roof Garden is ATP only. Three-course lunch with a surf and turf centrepiece, private tables stocked with craft beers and fine wines, self-service grazing elements, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the practice courts. The private box upgrade option is the standout feature for groups wanting their own enclosed space above the court. Right for: entertaining groups who want outdoor atmosphere and quality food without the structure of a sit-down dining room. One of the most consistently praised packages in the ATP lineup.

Club Lounge is available both weeks with one meaningful difference: the seat location changes. In the ATP week, Club Lounge guests sit in the Centre Court East Stand. In the WTA week, the seats are in the Premium South Stand directly behind the server — widely considered one of the better tactical positions on the court. The rest of the package is the same: live music, five-course tasting menu in the ATP version versus a three-course plated summer menu for the WTA, exclusive outdoor garden overlooking the practice courts, and a Champagne reception. Right for: groups who want refined hospitality without the exclusivity of a private room. The South Stand seat position in the WTA week is a genuine differentiator. From £405 per person plus VAT for the WTA.

The View is ATP only. The most innovative package in the lineup — roaming Asian fusion small plates and a live sushi station from Smoking Lobster, DJ, pamper space, dual-sided balcony overlooking Courts 1, 2, and 5, and Centre Court North Stand Premium seats. All drinks are permitted courtside. No set dining times. Right for: groups who want something genuinely different from a traditional hospitality day; guests who would find a formal dining room too structured. From £1,075 per person plus VAT.

The President's Room is the most prestigious standard package at both tournaments, and the one that sells out earliest every year. French doors from the suite open directly onto the Royal Box balcony overlooking Centre Court — there is no walk to your seat, you step through the doors and you are there. Champagne reception, canapé reception, three-course lunch, traditional afternoon tea, and a full complimentary bar including Champagne, Pimm's, and spirits. Private tables of ten or twelve only. One notable difference between the two weeks: the WTA availability runs Monday to Friday only (8-12 June), missing the weekend. If your group wants the President's Room for the WTA semifinals or final, the dates do not work — plan accordingly.

HerStory at Tennis is WTA only, available Thursday 11 and Friday 12 June exclusively. It sits within The View facility and is the most programme-rich package in the entire Queen's lineup: interactive insights sessions hosted by Chemmy Alcott OLY alongside panels of prominent sports and business personalities, roaming Asian fusion food, DJ, pamper space, and Centre Court North Stand seats. Profits go to the LTA Tennis Foundation. Right for: groups with a genuine interest in women's sport and business; events with a values alignment to what HerStory stands for; clients for whom a hospitality experience with substance beyond lunch is more compelling than another elegant room. This is not for every group, but for the right group it is the most distinctive day Queen's offers.

Real Tennis Museum and Real Tennis Dedans are available both weeks and are essentially sister packages — both are private spaces for exactly twelve guests within the Queen's Clubhouse, both overlook the active Real Tennis courts, both include a Champagne reception, three-course lunch, afternoon tea, and Centre Court North Stand seats in rows one, two, and three. The Dedans is the traditional viewing gallery of the Real Tennis court — an architectural feature built for watching the game. The Museum is a room decorated with the history of the sport. The Dedans has the feel of being inside the game itself; the Museum has the feel of being surrounded by its history. Both are from £375 per person plus VAT and represent strong value relative to other packages at this price point. A Real Tennis demonstration can be arranged at an additional cost for either package. Right for: small groups of twelve who want complete privacy, genuine historical atmosphere, and some of the closest seats on Centre Court. The best packages at Queen's for anyone who actually loves tennis as a sport rather than as a backdrop.

The practical decision guide

If you want outdoor atmosphere and a rooftop terrace: ATP week, Roof Garden.

If you want the most innovative and informal experience: ATP week, The View.

If you want the most prestigious experience with direct balcony access to Centre Court: either week, The President's Room — but note the WTA availability ends Friday.

If you want the most historically distinctive space at Queen's: either week, Real Tennis Dedans or Real Tennis Museum.

If you want something with genuine substance beyond the tennis: WTA week, HerStory at Tennis — but only Thursday or Friday.

If you want the most accessible, flexible, and social package: either week, Love Fifteen.

If you want to attend both weeks: there is nothing stopping you from booking Love Fifteen for the WTA on a Tuesday and The View for the ATP on a Friday. The venue, the Clubhouse, and the walk from Barons Court tube are identical. Two weeks of world-class grass court tennis at the most intimate top-level venue in London, two weeks before Wimbledon. There is no better way to spend a fortnight of the British tennis summer.

With general admission ATP tickets essentially gone for 2026, hospitality is the primary route to the men's event — and availability across both weeks is thinning fast.
