Transcorp Hilton Abuja leads hospitality growth, to host 2025 NUJ FCT press week

At the heart of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, Transcorp Hilton Hotel stands out not just for its luxury, but as a proud symbol of national growth, strength, and resilience.

As Nigeria works to revive its economy, the hospitality industry continues to play an important role, and Transcorp Hilton Abuja remains at the centre of it.

Famous for its world-class service and multiple awards, the hotel goes beyond comfort and elegance. It contributes significantly to the economy by directly employing hundreds of Nigerians and supporting many more through partnerships and local sourcing.

Part of the respected Transcorp Group, the hotel blends local experience with international standards. This has helped it maintain a strong presence on the Nigerian Exchange, where its parent company, Transcorp Hotels Plc, ended 2023 as the best-performing stock, delivering solid returns to investors.

The hotel’s drive for excellence is seen in its constant improvements and innovations. One major project underway is a 5,000-capacity Event Centre, aimed at boosting business tourism. Other plans include the opening of Transcorp Hotels Ikoyi in Lagos, expanding the company’s reach.

Through its digital platform, Aura by Transcorp, the group is making hospitality more accessible by allowing everyday Nigerians and property owners to be part of the tourism space. This effort supports local travel and gives more people access to leisure experiences.

Whether through relaxing spa offers, fun family activities, or festive holiday deals, Transcorp Hilton promotes mental wellness and encourages Nigerians to explore domestic tourism. The hotel also features improved facilities like the Pastry Corner, Bukka Buffet restaurant, a 24-hour fitness centre, and an in-house clinic—all focused on guest satisfaction.

With strong corporate governance, the hotel meets all regulatory standards and contributes reliably through taxes and levies, setting an example for responsible business in Nigeria. Its sustainability approach, including the use of hybrid energy and locally sourced food, helps reduce operational costs while supporting farmers and small vendors.

As it continues to expand and improve, Transcorp Hilton Abuja remains a key player in the hospitality industry and a model of what African-owned businesses can achieve with vision and good management.

In line with its leadership in national events, the hotel will host the 2025 NUJ FCT Press Week on July 22, with over 300 participants expected to attend.
