Venue Highlights & Amenities

State-of-the-art courts and luxury hosting in New York

Four Tennis courts, Five padel, and six squash.

Indoor Har-Tru clay tennis courts, easier on the legs than hard court, panoramic-glass padel courts on Mondo turf, and hardwood squash courts, all under tournament-grade lighting with high ceiling clearance.

MANHATTAN VIEW LOUNGE

Wrap-around cocktail bar, dining & viewing suite that overlooks Manhattan's skyline. Accommodates up to 120 standing or 35 seated. In-house catering for a stylized buffet, hor d'oeuvres or table service is available as an add-on.

all-new Locker Rooms

Our newly renovated locker rooms feature complimentary guest security lockers for your convenience. These lockers provide a safe and secure place for you to store your belongings while you enjoy our facilities.

PRO SHOP & RETAIL HUB

Discover both curated and basic necessities. Our Pro Shop offers racquet custom demo setups and basic restringing. Retail Hub services include small to large scale branded event prints and professional tournament framing.

Health & Wellness spa

Experience our luxurious Swedish dry sauna, complete with cutting-edge cold plunges, elegant marbled showers, and a serene relaxation lounge, towel service included.

In-House food & beverage offerings

Seasonal menus made in-house by our culinary team, sourced locally. Most large event spaces in Long Island City require you to bring in your own licensed caterer; here the kitchen and the bar are ours, so there is no caterer to source, brief, insure or chase. Beverage service runs from cold refreshments during play to a hosted bar with house cocktails. Selected separately from court packages.

sound design & DJ SetupS

Sonos Speakers throughout the space provide broad playlist capabilities. DJ setups can be accommodated for in any area across the club, from the courts to the upstairs bar.

The spaces, and how many each holds

Capacity here is set by the shape of the day, not only the headcount.

Capacity by space

Space Standing Seated
Upstairs Member Lounge120 35
Padel bubble125 50, plus 20 on court
Cafe Lounge– 25
Contrast therapy spa15-person communal sauna and three plunge tubs
Across the whole club250 125

These are four separate rooms rather than one hall, so 250 standing means the whole club. Spaces combine, and tennis has the most limited availability of the three sports, so tell us early if it matters to you.

Seated capacity in the padel bubble can be increased with rental furniture.

Three ways to build the day

Food and beverage is selected separately from the tier, so you are never buying a package with things in it you did not want.

Tier one

Court access

Open play and social rotation across the sports you choose. The simplest version, and the one that works best for a group that wants to be left to it.

Tier two

Programming and coaching

Our pros run the session: guided matches, clinics, drills, or a tournament bracket with a winner at the end. The right choice where abilities vary, which in a mixed group they always do.

Tier three

Full event experience

The building at your disposal. Courts, lounge, cafe and spa combined into a single itinerary, with food and bar service timed around it.

The floor plan

Two floors. Courts, gym, pro shop and cafe below; lounge, bar, spa and lockers above.
