Budget hotel chain Travelodge is continuing its expansion in London by starting work on a fourth new property in the UK capital.
Travelodge has begun construction on a six storey 113-room hotel in Chiswick, west London, which is scheduled to open in early 2025.
The company already has hotels under development in London at the Oval Cricket Ground, as well as in Bermondsey and Beckenham.
The addition of these four properties will take Travelodge’s portfolio in London up to 84 hotels. The company is also searching for another 100 hotel sites across the city, which would more than double its presence in London.
Steve Bennett, Travelodge’s chief property and development officer, described the new Chiswick location as “a great place for business and leisure customers to stay”.
“We now operate in 31 out the 33 London boroughs and are one of London’s biggest hotel chains,” he added.
“Nowadays, more Britons are choosing to stay in a budget hotel than any other hotel type, but London cannot fulfil this growing trend as it has a shortage of good quality and low-cost accommodation.
“Therefore, to help fill this growing gap, we are actively searching for over 100 new hotel sites across the capital.”
