Travelodge expands with raft of hotel agreements

A budget hotel chain says it plans to open hundreds more bases after unveiling a cluster of deals.  

Travelodge has agreed terms to buy 11 hotels.

The deals take the operator’s UK portfolio to nearly 600 sites, with bosses saying they want to open around 300 further bases.

Its expansion includes nine former Hotel Campanile sites, housing nearly 1000 rooms, in Birmingham, Bradford, Dartford, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, Northampton, Milton Keynes and Swindon. 

It has also exchanged contracts for an ex-Ibis hotel in Bromsgrove and a CitiLodge site in Wakefield.

Steve Bennett, chief property and development officer, said: “These hotels mark another positive step in our UK development strategy.

“We have a requirement to open a further 300 hotels across the UK, and are seeking prime opportunities when they become available.”
