UK hotel chain Travelodge outlined its current hotel development schedule with six UK new hotels in 2022.
It includes the group’s first new build budget-luxe design hotels.
Travelodge will launch a franchise flagship hotel in Dublin.
Construction has started on four new hotels.
Collectively, the expansion would represents an investment of about £330 million creating around 400 new jobs.
Three of the new Travelodge hotels opening this year will feature the group’s new premium budget-luxe design.
Locations include two sites in London at Docklands and Wimbledon and the group’s first hotel in Hexham.
The Travelodge budget-luxe design is based on feedback from the TravelodgePLUS budget chic format and the company’s largest consumer study of around 5,000 business and leisure travellers.
Travelodge is also developing its in-hotel restaurant business with a new upgraded Bar Café concept.
Six of the Travelodge hotels opening in 2022 feature an on-site restaurant.
These additions will boost the group’s in-hotel restaurant portfolio to 219 sites.
Three of the Travelodge hotels opening this year, Braintree, London Docklands and Wimbledon, are in partnership with Local Authorities, with Docklands and Wimbledon being delivered under lease-wrapper structures.
The group’s franchisee for Ireland, TIFCO, will also officially open the 397-room Travelodge hotel in Dublin city centre financial district.
These openings will boost Travelodge’s network to almost 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain.
