Bristol Filton Travelodge is upgraded to the group’s new premium budget-luxe design

Travelodge, the pioneers of the UK budget hotel sector, are delighted to announce that Bristol Filton Travelodge has been selected as one of the company’s 55 hotels to be upgraded in 2023 to the group’s new premium look and feel Budget-Luxe design. 

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 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.

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.

During the last few months, the Travelodge Budget-Luxe Hotel Upgrade Team has been working around the clock to refit the 90-room Bristol Filton Travelodge to the new budget-luxe design. This collective multi-million budget-luxe hotel upgrade programme had 55 Travelodge hotels selected to be upgraded in 2023 alone. As well as Bristol Filton Travelodge, this includes two of the largest hotels on the Travelodge estate – 463-room London Central Covent Garden Travelodge and 408-room London Kings Cross Royal Scot Travelodge.

The Bristol Filton Travelodge budget-luxe upgrade programme 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.

The upgrade also features a number of sustainable initiatives, including low energy lighting installed throughout the hotel with motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps in the en-suite bathrooms. 

Refurbishment completed on 12/12/2023.

Travelodge also worked with the famous Psychologist, Corrine Sweet on its new budget-luxe hotel design and  Psychologist Corinne Sweet said: Recent psychological research shows people’s tastes are changing and incorporating homely touches into décor and design are becoming essential to create a calming environment for wellbeing.  The new Travelodge budget-luxe design fits the bill as the premium look and feel is a good mixture of high functionality, comfort and calmness which helps guests feel psychologically refreshed.”

The new Travelodge budget-luxe design features  

A new hub of the hotel – a redesigned elegant reception 

The new reception area has been designed in a warm timeless classic style featuring a decorative panel design, soft low LED lighting, stylish leather bench seating and wooden style flooring.

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.

London Oval Travelodge

Located just metres away from Oval Tube Station and opposite the famous Kia Oval Cricket Ground, this 95-bedroom hotel will be Travelodge’s 81st in London and its 600th hotel in the UK, Ireland and Spain. 

London Oval Travelodge will also be the first new build hotel to feature Travelodge’s latest product, Bar 85 – a contemporary, stylish bar and restaurant area designed for the modern budget traveller.

After exchanging contracts with Surrey County Cricket Club in 2019, it was in November 2020 that the Club completed its freehold acquisition of the famous Ovalhouse Theatre (which has now relocated to Brixton) and received planning approval to develop a new Travelodge hotel on the site. 

The hotel’s construction commenced in January this year and the hotel will open in Q1 2024 and feature memorabilia from Surrey County Cricket Club in the new 85 Bar Cafe, paying homage to the area’s local history and the club’s association with the hotel. 

Colchester Northern Gateway Travelodge

The 90-bedroom hotel, which will be Travelodge’s 14th hotel in Essex, is located at Colchester Northern Gateway Leisure Park. 

The new leisure park adjoins Colchester United FC and David Lloyd sports complex and includes a 12-screen Cineworld cinema, Hollywood bowl, Puttstars Indoor Golf, Jump Street climbing centre and 9 restaurants. 

The Northern Gateway is a major residential and commercial expansion area to the north of the city, which also includes the Colchester Sports Park, a 76 acre site providing indoor and outdoor sports and leisure activities, including a 1-mile, floodlit cycle and pump track and the home of Colchester Rugby Club.  

Turnstone Estates is developing this leisure scheme, with funding having been facilitated by a lease-wrapper deal with Colchester Borough Council. This is Travelodge’s 25th hotel opening involving some form of partnership deal with a Local Authority. 

A new Travelodge opening supports Local Authorities’ key agendas to invest in their economies and encourage regeneration projects, attracting thousands of new visitors to their areas, who spend hundreds of thousands of pounds in the local shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and attractions. Travelodge has a proven track record of working with forward-thinking Local Authorities across the UK, spearheading regional economic growth and providing a solid, long-term revenue stream.

Colchester Northern Gateway Travelodge will be opening in early 2024.

  • Top-line growth driven by robust demand from business and leisure customers: strong leisure and sporting event bookings including Edinburgh Festival and Wimbledon Championships; strong business travel demand supported by face-to-face business networking conferences, including the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference at ExCel London
  • Strong momentum continuing into Q4: positive trading patterns continued in the first weeks of the fourth quarter – with accommodation revenue approximately 6% ahead of 2022 levels
  • Continued investment in quality and growth: acceleration of hotel refit programme, Travelodge’s most significant brand transformation to date, with plans to upgrade approximately 50% of room estate to new design by end of 2024; multi-million-pound advertising campaign launched in September 2023

Jo Boydell, Travelodge Chief Executive, said: “I am pleased to announce a record performance for the quarter, reflecting continued demand from Travelodge’s diverse range of leisure and business customers who seek affordable, quality accommodation.

“We continue to invest in our business to drive growth and strengthen our brand proposition. Our room and hotel transformation continues at pace – we will have refitted approximately 25% of the room estate by the end of this year, with plans to accelerate this investment to upgrade approximately 50% of the room estate by the end of 2024. We also launched our multi-million-pound “Better get a Travelodge” advertising campaign in September. 

“We are encouraged to see the positive trading patterns continuing into Q4 as we benefit from staycations, event bookings and continued demand from customers seeking value for money. Travelodge’s affordable proposition, together with our well-invested and diversified hotel network, positions us well to deliver long-term growth.”

23 November 2023 – Travelodge, the UK’s first budget hotel brand which operates nearly 600 hotels, today announces record results for the nine months to 30 September 2023, reporting revenue and profit performance significantly ahead of 2022 levels. The business delivered a 16.7% increase in revenue to £782.0 million and a 22.4% increase in underlying earnings (adjusted EBITDA) to £201.2 million, reflecting the continued resilience of the UK budget hotel segment and the wide appeal of Travelodge’s quality and value offering. 

This strong set of results and continued outperformance against the competitive midscale and economy hotel segment was supported by strong demand from Travelodge’s diverse customer base of leisure and business travellers. 

There has been consistently strong leisure demand, whether visiting friends and family, taking short breaks across the country, or attending events such as Edinburgh Festival, sports events such as Wimbledon and the British Open, and various music festivals across the UK — including Reading Festival and Creamfields.

Travelodge has continued to experience robust business travel demand across its diverse range of customers, from tradespeople to business executives of FTSE 100 companies. This demand has been supported by face-to-face business networking conferences, such as the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference at ExCel London.

In current trading, positive trading patterns have continued in the first weeks of the fourth quarter, with accommodation revenue approximately 6% ahead of 2022 levels and approximately 46% ahead of 2019 levels. 

Brand investment and upgrade

Travelodge continues to invest in driving long-term growth, enhancing its proposition of location, price, and quality to suit all travel occasions.

Travelodge’s hotel refit program, the company’s most significant brand transformation to date, is well underway, with 25% of hotels on track to be upgraded to the new design by the end of 2023. The company plans to accelerate investment in 2024 to upgrade approximately 50% of the room estate by the end of that year. The refit program includes a new hotel design featuring a new style reception area, next-generation rooms with bedside charging ports and blackout curtains and upgraded bar cafes.

In September 2023, Travelodge launched its “Better get a Travelodge” multi-million-pound advertising campaign across TV, radio, digital, and out-of-home.

Additionally, Travelodge is making a series of operational investments to build on already strong quality metrics, including replacing thousands of carpets across the estate since 2022 and upgrading all coffee machines across the estate. 

Hotel openings 

Travelodge opened four hotels (308 rooms), as part of its expansion plans during the year to date. 

The company opened its sixth hotel in Spain, located in Madrid, in October following the end of the period. This market presents significant development opportunities for Travelodge, with strong demand from both business and leisure travellers, and low penetration of branded budget hotels. The company’s market review supported by Christie’s & Co identified the potential for an additional 15,000 branded rooms in the budget segment within the next five years. Travelodge has already signed a deal for a new build hotel in San Sebastian and is working with its development partner to identify new opportunities initially across 20 key markets.

In the UK, Travelodge expects to open six new hotels in 2024. Once market conditions improve, the company anticipates returning to more normal levels of development, opening between 15-20 new hotels per year. Travelodge continues to see significant growth opportunities in the UK, with over 300 target locations identified following a comprehensive  review of gaps in the market. Additionally, the company will continue to review extension opportunities across its existing estate.

Positive demand drivers ahead, Travelodge well positioned 

Looking ahead, Travelodge expects to benefit from several positive demand drivers across both business and leisure customers, including increased demand for budget hotel accommodation as customers seek value, as well as benefits from staycation demand, events and, indirectly, from inbound tourism.

The company’s strong brand, quality and value proposition, well-invested hotel network, and diverse mix of business and leisure customers position it well to deliver growth. Although the wider macroeconomic backdrop in the UK is challenging and somewhat unpredictable, Travelodge remains confident in the long-term prospects for budget hotels, and its business model and track record of performance provides confidence in its ability to continue to prosper amidst this uncertainty.

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 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.

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.

This collective multi-million budget-luxe hotel upgrade programme had 55 Travelodge hotels selected to be upgraded in 2023 alone. As well as Cardiff M4 Travelodge, this includes two of the largest hotels on the Travelodge estate – 463-room London Central Covent Garden Travelodge and 408-room London Kings Cross Royal Scot Travelodge.

The Cardiff M4 Travelodge budget-luxe upgrade programme 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.

The upgrade also features a number of sustainable initiatives, including low energy lighting installed throughout the hotel with motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps in the en-suite bathrooms.
