A new partnership with Boston’s historic Tennis & Racquet Club creates a memorable team-building experience for corporate groups and meeting planners.
BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hilton Boston Back Bay has debuted a new executive retreat package in partnership with its historic neighbor, the Tennis & Racquet Club of Boston. The experience offers meetings & conference guests a chance to step into the historic clubhouse and experience one of the world’s oldest and rarest sports.
The Sport of Kings Executive Retreat connects guests with the game of Real Tennis (also known as Royal Tennis), an 800-year-old sport widely recognized as the precursor to modern Tennis. Once favored by monarchs like Henry VIII, and with fewer than 50 courts remaining worldwide, the Tennis & Racquet Club of Boston preserves their own court, just steps away from Hilton Boston Back Bay’s newly renovated 15,000 sq ft conference center and the Hynes Convention Center. Through a teamwork focused on-court clinic program with the Club’s pros, small groups can schedule a one-of-a-kind executive retreat into their Boston itinerary.
As the city helps mark America’s 250th anniversary, visitors are exploring its many layers of history—from its colonial roots under British rule to its pivotal role in the nation’s founding, and beyond. The Sport of Kings Executive Retreat offers corporate groups a chance to experience one of Boston’s lesser-known royal influences and enjoy an unforgettable setting for lessons and discussions in leadership, strategy, competition, and teamwork.
“Corporate retreats should be about creating shared moments that are unforgettable—experiences you simply can’t recreate over a video call,” said Mohamed Hashesh, General Manager of Hilton Boston Back Bay. “What we love about our neighborhood is that there are so many ways for meeting planners to add something special to their conference or meeting itineraries while giving attendees an unforgettable way to experience Boston’s Back Bay.”
Guests will enjoy use of the club’s equipment—including the game’s distinctive wooden racquets and hand-stitched balls—and participate in guided match play. Groups may further elevate the experience with a professional exhibition match or private courtside cocktail reception.
The new package complements Hilton Boston Back Bay’s recent multimillion-dollar transformation, which includes fully renovated meeting and event spaces and introduces the hotel’s expansive new fitness facilities. Together, these investments reflect a growing emphasis on the role of wellness and fitness at the intersection of business and corporate travel.
The Sport of Kings Executive Retreat is available for groups of up to 12 participants, with customized experiences available for larger groups. For more information meeting planners can contact bosbhsalesadm@hilton.com or visit www.hilton.com/en/hotels/bosbhhh-hilton-boston-back-bay/
