Travelodge to open 13 new hotels

Travelodge has announced today a £62 million investment in 13 new hotels. The expansion will create 1,244 rooms and 350 new jobs. Hotels will open in four London locations at Vauxhall, Excel Centre, Edgware and Bexleyheath.


Other locations include Cambridge Orchard Park, Aldershot, Birmingham Carrs Lane, Halesowen Earls Way, Warrington Gemini Park, Tamworth, Portishead Harbour Road, Market Harborough and Huddersfield Leeds Road. "During the recession we have taken the opportunity to grow where many have put their development on hold,” said Travelodge Managing Director for Development Paul Harvey. “In 2009 we secured more hotels than any other year in our history and have been able to attain superior sites due to lower property prices”. Over the last five years the budget chain has focused on city-centre growth to extend its image past roadside locations. Motorway and trunk route sites represent a quarter of its hotel stock and another quarter is in suburban, seaside and tourist locations.
