If The Baseline Club is the cocktail party, The Courtside Lounge is the private dining room you did not expect to find inside a tennis arena. Seated service. Your own table for 8 or 10. Plated courses, not roaming plates. The music quieter, the lighting warmer, the pace deliberately unhurried. This is hospitality built for the two biggest days of the tournament and nothing else.

Saturday's semifinals bring a seated dinner service. The lounge opens at 15:00, giving you the full afternoon and evening session to settle into a rhythm of tennis and food that most tournaments cannot match. The early matches play out while you arrive and get oriented. By the time the headline semifinal starts, you have eaten well, the table is comfortable, and the wine is open. Sunday shifts to a seated lunch for finals day, opening at 11:30 and running until an hour after the last ball is struck.

The distinction from The Baseline Club matters. This is not a space you work. You are not moving between groups with a glass in your hand. You are hosting a table. The conversation stays intimate, the service comes to you, and the eight or ten people around you are your people. It is the right format for a client dinner where the relationship matters more than the headcount, or for a birthday or anniversary where the tennis is the setting but the occasion is personal.

Seating for the tennis is in the Prestige Seats area, with the same option to upgrade to a Courtside VIP Box (€75pp in a shared box or €1,500 for a full 20-person private box on both Saturday and Sunday). At courtside level in Palais 5, the intimacy is striking. You are watching top-20 players from a distance that makes the speed of the ball genuinely startling.

One parking pass per two guests is included.

Tables must be booked as full tables of 8 or 10. This is not a package you can buy as an individual seat. If your group is smaller than 8, The Baseline Club's shared seating or private lounge options are the better fit.

All prices exclude VAT.

The Courtside Lounge operates for exactly two days per year. It is designed to be scarce, and it shows. Enquire through experience.tennis for availability and booking.
