Premium hospitality at the Happy Slam

The Australian Open opens the tennis year. It runs from Monday 11 January to Sunday 31 January 2027 at Melbourne Park, with Opening Week from 11 to 16 January, the main draw beginning on Sunday 17 January, and the two singles finals on the closing weekend.

It has a reputation among players as the friendliest of the four majors, and the reason is largely structural. Melbourne Park is a purpose-built site on the edge of the city centre with three roofed arenas - the only Grand Slam venue with that much cover - so the schedule holds together through heat and rain in a way the others cannot always manage. It is also walkable from a CBD hotel, which changes the character of the whole trip.

DN Global arranges premium hospitality at the Australian Open, sourced through our network - reserved seating on Rod Laver Arena and the other show courts, suite and restaurant access, and corporate options. We do not publish prices. Tell us your session, your dates and your guest numbers, and your named account manager will confirm in writing what can be arranged.

The tournament

What makes the Australian Open different

Three roofed arenas, high summer, and the most relaxed of the four majors.

Rod Laver Arena

The main show court, capacity approximately 15,000, and the first Grand Slam stadium anywhere built with a retractable roof.

Three covered stadiums

Rod Laver, Margaret Court and John Cain arenas all have roofs - unique among the Grand Slams, and why the Melbourne schedule rarely collapses.

High summer

January in Melbourne regularly reaches the mid-thirties Celsius. The tournament runs a formal Heat Stress Scale that can suspend outside-court play and close the roofs.

Opening Week

From 11 to 16 January, qualifying and public practice sessions run before the main draw - an unusually good way to see top players up close for very little.

Walkable from the city

Melbourne Park is fifteen to twenty minutes on foot from most CBD hotels, across the river through Birrarung Marr.

The food programme

Melbourne's restaurant scene is heavily represented on site, and the catering is generally reckoned the best of the four majors.

What we arrange

Australian Open hospitality options

The tournament is organised into day and night sessions, and on Rod Laver Arena those are sold separately. In a Melbourne January this is not just a scheduling detail - a day session in the high thirties is a very different proposition from an evening one, and it is the single most important decision to get right when you book. Hospitality facilities are air-conditioned and the show courts can be closed, but the walk between them is still outdoors.

A typical premium experience pairs a reserved show-court seat with access to a hospitality suite or restaurant, a drinks reception, dining across the session and dedicated entrances. Corporate suite options are available on the main arenas. Melbourne Park's food and wine programme is the strongest on the Grand Slam circuit, drawing directly on the city's restaurant scene, which raises the floor on what a hospitality package here actually delivers.

Because DN Global is not the official hospitality provider for the Australian Open, we set out in writing which experience is being sourced, what it includes and what it does not, before you commit to anything.

The destination

Melbourne in January

Melbourne Park sits immediately east of the central business district, which makes this the most convenient Grand Slam venue in the world to attend. Most guests stay in the CBD and walk - fifteen to twenty minutes across the river - rather than arranging transport at all. Trams run to Rod Laver Arena from Flinders Street and Richmond station is ten minutes from the gates.

January is high summer, and the city is at its best: the laneway restaurants and bars that Melbourne is known for, the coffee culture that residents will tell you about whether or not you ask, and the beaches at St Kilda and along the bay half an hour away. The Australian Open sits alongside a run of other events in the city's summer calendar, so the whole place has a particular energy through the month.

For guests travelling from the UK this is a long way to come for tennis alone, and we would say so rather than pretend otherwise. It works best as the anchor of a larger trip - the Great Ocean Road, Sydney, the Barossa, or on to New Zealand. We arrange hospitality at the tennis and hotel recommendations in Melbourne; tell us the wider shape of the trip and we will build the tennis into it sensibly.

For Australian clients

Booking from Australia

A significant share of DN Global's enquiries come from Australia, largely from clients planning trips to Europe - the Ashes, Wimbledon, the Champions League final, Monaco. The Australian Open is the one event on our list that runs the other way, and it is the natural starting point for a relationship that continues into a northern-hemisphere summer.

One practical note on timezones. The gap between Melbourne and the UK means an email exchange can lose a day in each direction, and a booking that should take an afternoon can drift across a week. Tell us your timezone at the point of enquiry and your account manager will work to your hours, including calls outside UK business time. We would rather do that than have three emails take a fortnight.

Corporate clients in Australia are invoiced directly with full documentation, and the same named account manager handles the account whether the event is in Melbourne or Manchester.

FAQs

Australian Open 2027 hospitality FAQs

The Australian Open 2027 runs from Monday 11 January to Sunday 31 January 2027 at Melbourne Park. Opening Week - qualifying and a programme of exhibition and practice sessions open to the public - runs from 11 to 16 January, with the main draw beginning on Sunday 17 January. The two singles finals are on the closing weekend, 30 and 31 January. Session times for 2027 have not yet been published.

Rod Laver Arena is the main show court at Melbourne Park, seating approximately 15,000, and it was the first Grand Slam stadium anywhere to be built with a retractable roof. It stages the singles finals and the marquee day and night sessions. Margaret Court Arena and John Cain Arena are the other two roofed show courts on site - which makes the Australian Open the only Grand Slam with three covered stadiums, and the reason its schedule holds together in a way the others sometimes do not.

Genuinely hot. Melbourne in January regularly runs into the mid-thirties Celsius and occasionally past forty, and the tournament operates a formal Heat Stress Scale that can suspend play on outside courts and close the roofs on the three main arenas. For hospitality guests this matters less than it sounds - the premium facilities are air-conditioned and the show courts can be closed - but it is worth knowing when you are choosing between a day and a night session. Evening tennis in Melbourne is a considerably more comfortable proposition.

A premium Australian Open experience typically pairs a reserved seat on Rod Laver Arena or one of the other show courts with access to a hospitality suite or restaurant, a drinks reception, dining across the session and dedicated entrances. Melbourne Park has an unusually strong food and wine programme by Grand Slam standards, drawing on the city's restaurant scene. Corporate suite options are available. DN Global is not the official hospitality provider for the Australian Open - experiences are sourced through our network - so inclusions are confirmed to you in writing before you commit.

Melbourne Park sits immediately east of the central business district, and it is genuinely walkable - fifteen to twenty minutes from most CBD hotels, across the river through Birrarung Marr. Trams run to Rod Laver Arena from Flinders Street, and Richmond station is a ten-minute walk from the gates. Of the four Grand Slam venues it is comfortably the easiest to reach from a city centre hotel, which shapes the whole trip: you do not need to plan transport, you just walk.

It is a twenty-two hour flight for a tennis tournament, so the honest answer is that it makes sense as part of a larger trip rather than on its own. Most UK guests who attend build a fortnight or more around it - Melbourne for the tennis, then the Great Ocean Road, Sydney, or on to New Zealand. January is high summer in Australia and the best time of year to be there. If you are already going, the tennis is an outstanding anchor for the trip. If the tennis is the only reason, Roland Garros and Wimbledon are considerably easier propositions.

Night sessions on Rod Laver Arena are the marquee product and the more comfortable option in January heat, typically carrying two matches from the evening onwards. Day sessions give you more tennis and, in the first week, the run of the outside courts - which is the best value in the tournament if you actually want to watch a lot of matches. For corporate entertaining the night session is usually the right call.
