In Montpellier, the ibis hotel is betting on padel with an innovative acoustic solution

The development of paddle is no longer limited to specialized clubs. In Montpellier, the company Sports Floor has just installed three model padel courts Carbon within the ibis Montpellier illustrating a fundamental trend: the increasing integration of this sport into hotels and leisure venues.

This achievement reflects the evolution of the market. Hotels, campsites, resorts, private estates and seminar centers now see padel as a real tool for entertainment and differentiation, capable of enriching the customer experience and strengthening the attractiveness of a site.

The challenge of acoustic integration

While padel is appealing due to its friendly and accessible nature, its placement in places dedicated to rest raises a key issue: noise management.

Between ball impacts, rebounds on the windows and the atmosphere of the game, the acoustic question becomes a central element from the design phase of the project.

In a hotel environment, the goal is to create a living and leisure space without compromising guest comfort. The challenge therefore extends beyond the purely sporting aspect to include other considerations. acoustic, architectural and experiential .

In Montpellier, the ibis hotel is focusing on padel with an innovative acoustic solution.

Insulating windows to reduce noise pollution

To answer this problem, Sports Floor equipped the three pitches of the ibis Montpellier of insulating glazing , a solution that is still not very widespread on the French padel market.

The objective is to reduce the noise impact of the activity on rest areas and on the immediate environment of the site.

This approach allows tourist or residential establishments to integrate a particularly attractive sporting activity while preserving the quality of stay for users.

According to Sol Sportif, this solution opens up new perspectives for structures wishing to develop a modern leisure offering without compromising the comfort of their customers.

The Carbon model for premium projects

The pitches installed in Montpellier are models Carbon designed to meet the requirements of high-end projects.

In a hotel or resort, a padel court is no longer just a piece of sports equipment. It also becomes an image element, a communication tool, and an additional service offered to guests.

The choice of materials, lighting, layout and acoustic management is therefore an integral part of the overall thinking carried out around the project.

Padel, a new asset for the hotel industry

For Sol Sportif, the future of padel in the hotel and tourism industry will depend first and foremost on better integration of infrastructure into its environment.

A well-designed site can help to revitalize an establishment, attract new customers, develop off-season business or enrich the event offering during seminars and group stays.

Conversely, a poorly planned installation can quickly become a source of tension related to noise pollution or landscape integration.

The company believes that the future development of padel will depend as much on the quality of project design as on the number of courts built.

A comprehensive approach to the project

Specializing in the design and construction of padel facilities, Sports Floor supports clubs, communities, investors, hotels and private estates through all stages of a project: site study, layout, earthworks, drainage, foundations, structures, synthetic turf, lighting, acoustics and maintenance.

With this installation of three Carbon courts in Montpellier, the company confirms its commitment to supporting the growth of padel in environments where athletic performance, user comfort and harmonious project integration must move forward together.
