Rooftop Pickleball Returns to Hilton Melbourne: Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street (HMLQS) is bringing back its rooftop pickleball court for an extended season from December 19, 2024, to February 28, 2025. Guests and the public can enjoy the popular sport alongside stunning city skyline views and exclusive food and beverage offerings.
Pickleball Meets Rooftop Luxury
The rooftop court, in partnership with Game4Padel and HEAD, opens to hotel guests on December 19 and to the public starting January 11. A highlight of the season will be the Sip & Serve Sessions, running nightly from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. between January 10 and February 9.
These sessions combine pickleball with a lively atmosphere featuring curated cocktails, a DJ, and coaching sessions on Wednesdays led by Game4Padel experts.
Pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports globally, blends elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Played with paddles and a plastic ball on a smaller court, it’s accessible and engaging for all skill levels.
A Unique Rooftop Experience
Guests can enjoy a bespoke cocktail menu crafted by Chateau La Gordonne, including refreshing drinks like the Fragola Harmony Frosé and Raspberry Bliss, each priced at $22. The rooftop also offers a cozy lounge where visitors can relax with snacks and cocktails after their games.
To celebrate the season, HMLQS is hosting an Instagram giveaway in collaboration with Game4Padel and HEAD. Prizes include a luxurious one-night stay at the hotel, HEAD pickleball gear, and free court rentals and lessons.
Daily Court Access and F&B Offerings
The pickleball court is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for hotel guests, with no food or beverage purchase required. From January 11 to February 9, the court welcomes public access during Sip & Serve Sessions, offering an enhanced experience with drinks, music, and expert coaching.
