Best Tennis Hotels in Aurangabad
2 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Aurangabad . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Only two Aurangabad hotels have tennis courts, and both sit in the higher-end tier alongside a pool and spa or fitness facilities. Ambassador Ajanta Hotel pairs its tennis and squash courts with a sunken bar and sauna, a 20-minute drive from the airport and 30 kilometres from Ellora Caves. Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Rama International adds a 0.6-mile running track to its tennis facilities, 4.3 miles from Bibi Ka Maqbara. Neither hotel is built around tennis as the headline draw; it's one part of a broader sports offering aimed at families who want more physical activity than a pool alone provides.
Tennis isn't a defining feature of Aurangabad the way it might be in a resort town; it exists here because two of the city's better hotels built full sports facilities to match their five- and four-star positioning, not because the city has a tennis culture of its own. That makes Ambassador Ajanta and Welcomhotel the exception rather than the rule among Aurangabad's largely function-first, caves-focused hotel stock, and worth seeking out specifically if a family wants an active option beyond sightseeing and the pool.

🎾Why Aurangabad is Great for Hotels with Tennis
Book tennis court time for early morning, ideally before a day trip to Ellora Caves, 30 kilometres from Ambassador Ajanta, since afternoon heat makes an outdoor court uncomfortable for anyone under twelve. Squash at Ambassador Ajanta offers an indoor fallback once the sun is high, and Welcomhotel's running track works as a low-commitment alternative for a parent who wants a quick workout without booking court time in advance. Confirm court availability the day before; neither hotel lists exact opening hours online, and both properties are large enough that courts can be booked out by other guests without notice.
Teenagers and older kids get the most out of these two hotels' tennis facilities, since a proper game needs enough coordination and stamina that younger children usually prefer the pool instead. Ambassador Ajanta's combination of tennis, squash and an outdoor pool covers most age ranges within one property, while Welcomhotel's running track suits kids who'd rather move independently than commit to a full match. Bring your own racket if you have a strong preference; court equipment availability isn't confirmed in either listing, and renting on arrival adds a delay you can avoid by packing your own.
Both tennis hotels sit at the top of Aurangabad's price range, Ambassador Ajanta at four stars, Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels at five, and the tennis facilities are part of a broader sports and wellness package rather than a standalone perk. For families who'll actually use the courts, the premium over a standard three-star family-suite hotel is easier to justify than for those who'd only play once during the stay, when a cheaper hotel closer to the railway station makes more practical sense and the money saved covers the tour desk's car to Ellora Caves instead.
Parent's take
We booked an early tennis slot at Ambassador Ajanta before the morning got too hot, and the squash court became the backup once the sun was fully up and the outdoor court felt unplayable by 10 a.m. With Ellora Caves thirty kilometres away for the afternoon, the morning game was really the only window that worked for both tennis and sightseeing in one day.

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Rama International, Aurangabad is a 5-star hotel with a 0.6-mile running track and garden-view rooms, 2.5 miles from Aurangabad Airport. Rooms include a seating area, an electric kettle and a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Sholla, the on-site specialty restaurant, serves local cuisine, and the tour desk and free parking cover the practical side. Bibi Ka Maqbara is 4.3 miles away.
Why families love Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Rama International, Aurangabad
Families staying here will find the running track a good outlet for kids with pent-up energy after a day of temple-hopping, and garden-view rooms give younger children something to look at that isn't a car park. The soundproof banquet halls mean an event elsewhere in the hotel won't carry through to family rooms at bedtime. At 19 miles, Ellora Caves is a manageable day trip; the tour desk can arrange the car.

Very Good
427 reviews
Ambassador Ajanta Hotel is a 4-star property with a large outdoor pool, a sunken bar and a sauna, a 20-minute drive from Aurangabad Airport. Rooms come with cable TV, a fridge, tea and coffee facilities, and bathrobes in the private bathroom. Guests can book the tennis and squash courts or the fitness centre, and the multi-cuisine restaurant serves Indian, Chinese and European dishes. Ellora Caves are 30 kilometres away; Ajanta Caves, 90 kilometres.
Why families love Ambassador Ajanta Hotel, Aurangabad
Families staying here will find the large outdoor pool and sunken bar the easiest way to fill an afternoon between temple visits, and the tennis and squash courts give older kids something active beyond the water. Bathrobes in every room simplify the pool-to-room routine for younger children who hate getting dressed twice. At 90 kilometres, Ajanta Caves make a long day trip, so most families pair this stay with Ellora instead, 30 kilometres out.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Tennis in Aurangabad
- 1Book your tennis slot for early morning, before 9 a.m. if possible. Aurangabad's heat makes outdoor courts at Ambassador Ajanta or Welcomhotel uncomfortable well before midday for most of the year.
- 2Use Ambassador Ajanta's squash court as a backup once it's too hot for tennis. It's the only indoor racket-sport option between the two hotels on this list.
- 3Confirm court availability and equipment the day before your stay. Neither Ambassador Ajanta nor Welcomhotel publishes opening hours or racket rental details online.
- 4Pair a morning tennis session with an afternoon Ellora Caves trip. Ambassador Ajanta is 30 kilometres out, close enough to fit both into one day without an early start.
- 5Choose Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels if you'd rather run than play a match. Its 0.6-mile running track is a lower-commitment option than booking court time.
