Transcorp Hotels Plc, the hospitality subsidiary of Transnational Corporation Plc, has launched new padel courts at Transcorp Hilton Abuja as part of efforts to expand the hotel’s recreational and lifestyle offerings.
Padel, a racket sport that has recorded growing popularity globally, is the latest addition to the hotel’s sports and leisure facilities, which include tennis and squash courts, swimming pools and wellness facilities.
Speaking at the launch, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Transcorp Hotels Plc, Uzoamaka Oshogwe, said the new facility was designed to provide guests and visitors with more opportunities to combine leisure, fitness and social activities.
She said, ‘People want more from hospitality today. They want places where they can work, unwind, stay active, and create meaningful memories all in one destination. That is what we are offering at Transcorp Hilton Abuja. Our new padel courts are another way we are bringing people together and creating experiences our guests will love.’
The company said the launch formed part of its ongoing investments in facilities and experiences at Transcorp Hilton Abuja.
It said the new courts would complement the hotel’s existing accommodation, dining, wellness and recreational facilities, while providing an additional sporting option for guests, families, professionals and residents of Abuja.
The hotel also houses the Transcorp Centre, an events and conference facility with a reported capacity of 5,000 seats and a soundproof partitioning system designed to accommodate different types and sizes of events.
The facility hosts conferences, corporate meetings, exhibitions, weddings and cultural events.
According to the company, the addition of the padel courts is expected to further broaden the range of activities available at the hotel, particularly for visitors seeking sports and recreational experiences alongside accommodation and business facilities.
The launch is part of Transcorp Hotels’ broader efforts to develop its hospitality offerings and provide spaces that combine business, leisure and recreational activities.
