Budget hotel chain Travelodge has announced plans to open 20 properties this year, as well as expanding its SuperRoom concept by a further 400 rooms.
The new openings include the 395-room London City Travelodge on Middlesex Street close to the Gherkin, which is scheduled to open this summer and will be the group’s largest ever new-build hotel.
Other new properties will be located in Acton, Bromley, Bury St Edmunds, Chester Windsor House, Chippenham, Dagenham, Dover, Gainsborough, Glasgow, Gravesend, Lincoln, Redruth, Solihull, Stirling, Swindon, Telford, Walsall, Welwyn Garden City and York.
Travelodge launched its SuperRooms offering last year, which it describes as a “premium economy concept”, with rooms being located on quieter “business floors” and costing around £15-£20 more.
Features include upgraded interiors, extra plug sockets, USB ports, mood lighting, a desk with swivel chair and reading lamp, an armchair, Lavazza coffee machines and a complimentary Kit Kat.
