Travelodge completes its multi-million first phase budget-luxe hotel upgrade programme

Travelodge, the pioneers of the UK budget hotel sector have successfully completed the first phase of their budget-luxe hotel upgrade roll-out programme. Over the last 36 weeks, 65 Travelodge hotels across the UK in popular staycation and business destinations have been upgraded to the group’s new budget-luxe premium look and feel design. This first phase programme represents an investment of nearly £90 million pounds.

The teams have been working around the clock to refit these 65 Travelodge hotels which stretch the length and breadth of the UK – whilst the hotels have remained open for business.

The new Travelodge budget-luxe design refit includes a number of sustainable initiatives. This includes the new carpet being made from recycled fishing nets which are part of a project supporting clean ocean initiatives, tackling over 640k tonnes of discarded fishing nets currently impacting marine life. The carpet backing is also made of old plastic bottles. Every ten of these bottles which are recycled rather than being sent to landfill saves enough energy to power a laptop for 25 hours. The other features include low energy lighting, motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps

The new Travelodge budget-luxe design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS with feedback from the company’s largest consumer study – which surveyed around 5,000 UK business and leisure travellers to find the psychographics of the modern budget traveller. Key findings revealed that modern travellers crave style, choice and little homely touches to make it easier to work, rest and relax both inside and outside of the room.

In response to this consumer insight, the Travelodge interiors team remodelled their core product with a new budget-luxe design that included all the low cost efficiencies you would expect from Travelodge but with the added benefit of thoughtful, stylish design and homely touches throughout its interiors.

This is underpinned by the introduction of a new signature rich navy blue brand colour which pays homage to the first iconic Travelodge blue brand colour- chosen for its calming and uplifting qualities. In essence all the key essentials that matter to modern business and leisure travellers.

The new Travelodge budget-luxe design includes a timeless classic, elegant style reception which is the hub of the hotel. A next generation room which has been smartly devised to create a multi-dimensional space by utilising the new luxurious signature Travelodge navy blue colour for the R&R (resting and relaxing) section of the room and a serene colour palette for the functional and energising side of the room to work and get ready. Plus a contemporary designed restaurant called the Bar Café – that features spaces for guests to work, relax and socialise.

The bespoke luxurious king-size Travelodge Dreamer bed remains the king of the room and is dressed with crisp white bed linen which includes a cosy 10.5 tog duvet and comfy pillows. The bed sits within a light box bed frame that emanates a soft, warm glow to aid relaxation and features bedside reading lights and USB charging points. Located above the bed is a bespoke piece of artwork commissioned by Travelodge which has been inspired by classic lullabies, with clever use of playful and discoverable elements to help you drift off to sleep.

The en-suite bathroom also features a new brilliant white complementary design and décor with complimentary hand, hair and body wash.

Travelodge has exchanged contracts for a further three new hotels

Travelodge is delighted to announce that contracts have been exchanged for the development of three new hotels in Bristol, London Chiswick and Rotherham.

London Chiswick Travelodge

Travelodge has secured development funding to deliver a new, purpose-built hotel scheme in Chiswick. The property consultancy, Gerald Eve, were appointed to seek funding for the new development which is located next to Chiswick Roundabout and Chiswick Flyover and situated only 400m from Chiswick Business Park.

The funding partner, RTP Global Real Estate Investments, have purchased the site and committed to fund the development site for £19.4m and simultaneously retained Travelodge Hotels Limited as the development manager for the scheme, which will comprise a 113-bedroom hotel, arranged over ground and five upper floors.

Upon practical completion, anticipated for Q4 2023, the hotel will be single-let to Travelodge Hotels Limited on a new 35-year lease, with 5-yearly, index-linked rent reviews. The purchase price reflects a funding yield of 4.75%.

Travelodge is one of the largest budget hotel chains in the Capital and operates hotels in 31 out of 33 London boroughs.

Bristol Abbey Wood Travelodge

This hotel is the group’s seventh hotel in Bristol. The proposed 85-room hotel with on-site restaurant called the Bar Cafe is located adjacent to Abbey Wood Shopping Park and offers easy access to the M4, M5, the city centre and is situated very near to the Ministry of Defence’s Bristol office, which is also the largest MoD office in the UK.

The project will be developed and funded by Invesco, acting as a discretionary fund manager for Greenspruce LP, a Barclays wealth fund, and will also include a new Greggs standalone unit. Construction will be undertaken by Marshalls Construction and works have commenced on site, with anticipated completion in Q1 2024.

Rotherham Travelodge
Construction has recently started on site of a new Travelodge in Rotherham. This 69-room hotel will be the group’s 36th hotel in Yorkshire and it is the county’s first new-build budget luxe Travelodge hotel. It represents a multi-million investment for the landlord, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and will create around 25 new jobs within the community. The hotel is being developed by Muse Developments and the contractor is Bowmer and Kirkland. Rotherham Travelodge is scheduled to open in 2024.

All of these new hotels will be developed to Travelodge’s new budget luxe premium look and feel design. This new design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS with feedback from the company’s largest consumer study – which surveyed around 5,000 UK business and leisure travellers to find the psychographics of the modern budget traveller. Key findings revealed that modern travellers crave style, choice and little homely touches to make it easier to work, rest and relax both inside and outside of the room.

In response to this consumer insight, the Travelodge interiors team have remodelled their core product with a new budget-luxe design that includes all the low cost efficiencies you would expect from Travelodge but with the added benefit of thoughtful, stylish design and homely touches throughout its interiors.

Travelodge to kickstart 2023 with the opening of two new hotels in Q1

Travelodge will kick start 2023 by expanding its hotel network and opening hotels during Q1 in London Peckham and Ipswich. It is also building four hotels in: Colchester, London Beckenham, Bermondsey and Rotherham.

Ipswich Travelodge, a 100-room hotel is located in the town centre, adjacent to Ipswich FC, in the heart of the Central Business District and is also close to the railway station and prime retail areas.

This will be the group’s second Travelodge hotel in Ipswich and is being developed by Burney Group, who also developed Boston Travelodge which was opened last year.

London Peckham Travelodge is a 52-room hotel located in the heart of Peckham, which is an emerging new district of South East London. This will be Travelodge’s 80th hotel in London

Travelodge is coming to Rotherham

Travelodge, the UK’s first budget hotel chain, which operates 595 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, announces it is coming to Rotherham and construction has started on the town’s first branded hotel.

Rotherham Travelodge, a 69-room hotel, will be the group’s 36th hotel in Yorkshire and it is the county’s first new-build, budget-luxe Travelodge hotel. It represents a multi-million investment for the landlord, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, and will create around 25 new jobs within the community. The hotel is being developed by nationwide placemaker, Muse, and the contractor is Bowmer and Kirkland. Rotherham Travelodge is scheduled to open in 2024.

Earlier this year, Travelodge announced it is evolving its core brand to a new, budget-luxe, premium look and feel design – whilst maintaining its great value price proposition. This new design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS, with feedback from the company’s largest consumer study – which surveyed around 5,000 UK business and leisure travellers to find the psychographics of the modern budget traveller. Key findings revealed that modern travellers crave style, choice and little homely touches to make it easier to work, rest and relax, both inside and outside of the room.

The new budget-luxe design includes all the low cost efficiencies you would expect from Travelodge, but with the added benefit of thoughtful, stylish design and homely touches throughout its interiors. The Travelodge budget-luxe design also includes a number of sustainable initiatives. This includes the new carpet being made from recycled fishing nets which are part of a project supporting clean ocean initiatives, tackling over 640k tonnes of discarded fishing nets currently impacting marine life. The carpet backing is also made of old plastic bottles. Every ten of these bottles which are recycled rather than being sent to landfill saves enough energy to power a laptop for 25 hours. The other features include low energy lighting, motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps.

The hotel is part of the wider regeneration project, Forge Island, being developed by Muse and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. The scheme is 100% pre-let and, once complete, the new destination will provide fantastic facilities for residents and families to enjoy right in the heart of Rotherham town centre, including a new, boutique, 8-screen cinema from The Arc, each with laser digital projection and Dolby digital surround sound for the ultimate film experience. Five food and beverage brands have already signed up to the scheme and will showcase food and drink from across the globe. A sixth will be announced shortly.

Tony O’Brien, Travelodge UK Development Director: “We are delighted to be working with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council to bring Travelodge, the town’s first branded hotel to Rotherham town centre. This hotel will help to attract new business and leisure customers to the area. It is also a great example of town centre regeneration, bringing an old, derelict, former industrial site back into beneficial, economic use. Schemes like this take years of hard work and it’s great to be working with such a progressive, enthusiastic Council and its excellent development delivery partner, Muse.”

“Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is doing a great job in investing to regenerate the town centre. Its funding support has enabled the delivery of this development at a time when private sector funding is in very scarce supply. This will be of great benefit to the Rotherham community for many years to come. Forge Island is a great addition to the town centre and will support the existing shops, attractions such as Rotherham United’s AESSEAL New York stadium, so there will be plenty for Travelodge’s business and leisure customers to enjoy when we open in 2024.”

Cllr Chris Read, Leader of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council said: “Forge Island is the single biggest investment in our town centre for decades. It will be the first cinema in the central area for thirty years and the community has waited a very long time to see this work begin. As we face into the difficult economic times ahead, it’s more important than ever to redouble our efforts to build a better future on the other side. So this marks a huge step in the right direction in the delivery of our town centre masterplan, towards the kind of town centre that people can be proud of once again.”

Raife Gale, Senior Development Manager at Muse, said: “Since we were appointed as the council’s partner for Forge Island in 2018, we’ve worked collaboratively with the council to reach this point where we’re on site and we can’t wait to deliver this exciting destination for the community.

“Interest in Forge Island has been incredible and we’ve assembled a fantastic line up of operators and amenities to join us in our mission to create an attractive leisure destination with a social purpose that becomes a catalyst for further investment and regeneration in the town.”

In addition to the opening of the new Rotherham site, Travelodge is actively looking for a further 16 hotel sites in the North East which could represent an investment of £160 million and create 400 new jobs. The full list of Travelodge requirements can be found here.

Travelodge opens its 79th London hotel in Wimbledon

Official Opening Ceremony for London Wimbledon Travelodge

Travelodge, one of the UK’s largest hotel brands, announces it has officially opened its third new-build budget luxe hotel in the heart of Wimbledon. With this opening, the group now operates 596 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain.

At the hotel opening ceremony the group announced that London is a key growth area for Travelodge’s development strategy. A dedicated team is in place to search for a further 127 suitable sites across the Capital for a Travelodge hotel. This expansion programme would more than double Travelodge’s presence in London (Travelodge currently operates 79 hotels and is searching for 127 hotel sites this equates to 206 hotels) and could represent an investment of nearly £3 billion for third party investors and create over 6,000 new jobs.

To kick start this expansion programme Travelodge has secured four hotel deals already with hotels in development across London in Beckenham, Bermondsey, Chiswick and Peckham. These four hotels represent an investment of approximately £55 million pounds for third party investors and will create around 150 new jobs.

All four hotels are centrally located, close to tube and railway stations. Beckenham, Bermondsey and Chiswick Travelodge hotels will feature the group’s on-site restaurant called the Bar Cafe and dedicated SuperRoom floors. (SuperRooms are the group’s popular premium economy rooms).

This new design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS with feedback from the company’s largest consumer study – which surveyed around 5,000 UK business and leisure travellers to find the psychographics of the modern budget traveller. Key findings revealed that modern travellers crave style, choice and little homely touches to make it easier to work, rest and relax both inside and outside of the room.

The carpet backing is also made of old plastic bottles. Every ten of these bottles which are recycled rather than being sent to landfill saves enough energy to power a laptop for 25 hours. The other features include low energy lighting, motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps. As well as Air Source heat pumps designed to maximise efficiency in the room heating & cooling system. A green roof top to attract wildlife and assist with drainage.

This hotel is also the group’s 24th Local Authorities wrapper deal partnership with the landlord being Three Rivers District Council.

Karen Broughton, Travelodge Chief Sales & Marketing officer said: “We are delighted to open our third new-build budget luxe hotel in the heart of Wimbledon. This opening now boosts our portfolio to 596 hotels in the UK, Ireland and Spain. It also kickstarts our London expansion programme with the aim to more than double Travelodge’s presence across the Capital.

Today, more Britons are choosing to stay in a budget hotel than any other hotel type and due to this rising demand, there is a shortage of good quality and low cost accommodation across London. To help fill this growing gap, we are actively searching for a further 127 hotel sites, and we are delighted to announce that we have already secured four hotel deals. These hotels are in development and on schedule to open in 2023. This London expansion programme could collectively represent an investment of over £3 billion for third party investors and create around 6,000 new jobs.”
