Fancy a game of pickleball on a Melbourne CBD rooftop?

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world - and for the next two weeks enthusiasts can play on a pop-up rooftop court in the Melbourne CBD.

From Friday, January 12, Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street will be home to the new court, which will be operational until January 28,

HMLQS has partnered with Game4Padel to offer hotel guests and the general public the chance to play a match of pickleball against a backdrop of city skyline views, with an exclusive courtside Monkey 47 Gin rooftop lounge offering cocktails and bar snacks.

As part of the celebration of the Australian Open, the first 100 guests who sign up to the HMLQS and Game4Padel database via QR code at the venue will each receive a complimentary Game4Padel gift bag, including Ellesse merchandise, Luci and Game4Padel gift vouchers.

Hilton Melbourne LQS’s rooftop pickleball court will operate daily from 11am -4pm for hotel guests and 4pm-9pm with access for non-hotel guests. 

Complimenting the action on court, HM LQS will be serving up a bespoke cocktail menu ($23) from the adjacent Monkey 47 Lounge.

This is Melbourne, remember, so rooftop opening hours are subjected to weather conditions.

**Non hotel guests will be required to purchase a drink to play, with sessions lasting 30 minutes available without bookings.
