Rooftop Racquet Club at QT Melbourne
Keep an ace up your sleeve this summer, as this glamorous hotel serves up a rooftop pickleball court, signature cocktails and late-night DJs.
Overview
Swinging into Melbourne Park or Kooyong this summer? Add a sky-high tennis destination to your plans, as QT Melbourne launches the Rooftop Racquet Club. Running from Thursday, January 8–Sunday, March 1, this sun-soaked vantage point will pair rallying energy with a little rooftop glamour, dovetailing with one of Melbourne's great summer cultural events.
As such, the creative crew behind QT Melbourne have transformed the space into something more than a sporting arena. Bringing a fresh twist on the members-only tennis club vibe, guests encounter icy palomas and margaritas poured with Altos Tequila, alongside Mexican-inspired grazing platters loaded with stacked crispy tortilla chips, pico de gallo and tequila-infused avo dip.
If you're keen to grab your racquet and crisp whites, a pop-up pickleball court invites would-be champions to compete against their pals or perhaps the table right next door. Plus, the atmosphere ramps up further on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm–late and Sundays from 3–6pm, with DJs guiding guests to sunset and beyond as you serve up aces.
You can also win at the bar; just purchase three event cocktails in one transaction to score a limited-edition Rooftop Racquet Club cap. "Rooftop Racquet Club is about capturing that post-game buzz — the moment where sport turns social and the afternoon stretches effortlessly into night," says QT Melbourne General Manager, Kristen Foat.
