WE PIONEERHOSPITALITY

STANDARDSIn 1997, we pioneered the launch of the Hilton Executive floor, which was replicated across other Hilton Worldwide locations. Transcorp Hilton Abuja was the first hotel in Nigeria to install the Fidelio hotel management system, the first to install the SmartButler Guest Service System to enhance the efficiency of guest services delivery, the first to introduce the Lobby Ambassador and also the first in the country to install a ‘no-break’ UPS generator. This generator ensures customers do not know when there is a change from generator to public power source and vice-versa

Transcorp Hotels Calabar, since 1976 has remained the most iconic premier three-star hotel in Calabar, welcoming global business leaders and tourists across the world. The hotel is the first in the region to introduce an online booking platform on its website, and also the first hotel in Calabar to introduce a loyalty programme, which helps guests earn rewards when they lodge at the hotel.
