Wimbledon is the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament. Dreams have been built and broken on these courts, in front of the wide eyes of millions of spectators. Debenture seats on Centre Court are sought after months in advance, and none more coveted than the Final’s weekend.
Blend Group organised for a group of 16 international guests to visit the capital and experience Wimbledon from the best debenture seats in the stands. The group watched as Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal in the Men’s Semi-Final, the duo’s first clash in London since 2008, before going on to lose to Novak Djokovic in a Final that went down as one of the greatest games in the history of the sport. On both days, our clients were sat in two groups of 8 in the shaded area of Centre Court, as they requested, where they had unrivalled views of these legendary matches.
The visit began at the Intercontinental Park Lane, where guests were greeted with a champagne reception before enjoying a three-course tasting menu in the private dining room of Michelin star chef Theo Randall’s restaurant, located within the hotel. The following morning, a fine breakfast spread was provided before a private transfer escorted the guests to south London for the day of tennis.
After the tennis on both days, Blend Group organised further private dining experiences at London hotspots China Tang, one of the best Cantonese restaurants outside of China, and Sexy Fish, serving Japanese-inspired sushi, seafood, fish and Robata grill in the privately hired Coral Reef room. Both restaurants are in the heart of Mayfair, and walking distance from the hotel, ensuring easy and relaxed evenings with consistent five-star service. This 4-night, luxury trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance.
