Marriott Bonvoy, the Official Partner of the Australian Open, today unveiled its largest collection of Marriott Bonvoy Moments at the Australian Open to date, giving members more ways to experience one of the world's most celebrated sporting events. More than 250 Australian Open packages will be available to members around the world including a chance to meet with global tennis sensation Alex Eala.
Members who wish to experience more of Australia through tennis events in January can also choose from 120 Summer of Tennis packages for tournaments in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart and Perth. These experiences will be progressively made available from now to end of the year.
Australian Open 2027 Packages Available Now
Members can already start exploring Marriott Bonvoy Moments packages featuring exclusive access to Australian Open legends, signature hospitality experiences, behind-the-scenes tours, curated dinners, match tickets and hotel stays.
Among the most coveted packages is an exclusive tennis clinic with former Australian tennis star Ash Barty, tickets to the Women's final with hospitality lounge access with a hotel stay.
Exclusive Opportunities to Meet Alex Eala in Melbourne
In October 2026, Marriott Bonvoy members will have an opportunity to meet Alex Eala during the Australian Open 2027 in Melbourne, by submitting a winning bid or secure the experience with just one Marriott Bonvoy point.
More than simply meeting one of the world's most exciting tennis talents, members will be able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Australian Open opening week and enjoy a curated Marriott Bonvoy stay in Melbourne. The package will include:
More Perks for Members
Tennis is a highly followed sport in the Philippines and Japan, with Eala-mania capturing the hearts of Filipinos and the Australian Open being the most watched Grand Slam in Japan.
To meet this demand, in addition to the Marriott Bonvoy Moment's packages, Marriott Bonvoy will be giving members in both markets exclusive access to a Marriott Bonvoy sweepstakes. Prizes include opportunities to meet Alex Eala, signed merchandise by her and Australian Open tickets.
Tennis The World with Marriott Bonvoy
The new experiences form part of Marriott Bonvoy's global Tennis The World platform, which connects travel with the energy, excitement and the rise of tennis tourism. The platform integrates expanded access to the Australian Open through Marriott Bonvoy Moments and lists properties with tennis facilities, connecting tennis-loving members to their passion as they explore the world through the sport.
"Tennis The World is about opening the door to experiences that bring our members closer to the passions and places they love," said John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer, Marriott International, APEC. "The opportunity to meet Alex Eala in Melbourne, experience the Australian Open and enjoy a thoughtfully curated stay demonstrates the unique value of Marriott Bonvoy. By offering these experiences through both 1-Point Drops and biddable auctions, we are creating exciting new ways for members to turn their points into memories that will stay with them long after the final match."
