Travelodge, the UK budget hotel chain, with more than 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, has opened its 82nd hotel in London, the 73-key London Bermondsey Travelodge.
The sustainable property, with an EPC rating of B, features LED lighting, PV cells on the roof, air source heat pumps and green roofs. It also inlcudes the group’s new restaurant concept 85 Bar Cafe.
Travelodge has over 300 target locations for hotel sites across the UK with over 100 of these target sites in London, which the chain considers to be a key area for growth and development moving forward. The firm has properties in 31 out of the 33 London Boroughs, making it one of the capital’s largest hotel chains.
London Bermondsey Travelodge is one of three London hotels to open for Travelodge this year, with London Oval Cricket Ground Travelodge having opened earlier this year, and London Beckenham Travelodge currently under construction to open in the next couple of months. Travelodge also has new upcoming hotels in Chiswick and Stratford under construction.
Steve Bennett, chief property and development officer, Travelodge, said: 'We are delighted to announce that our 82nd London hotel has officially opened and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
'With its new premium design and great location, I have no doubt that London Bermondsey Travelodge will be a strong addition to the area. We have a fantastic hotel team in place, and already we are receiving excellent feedback from customers.
'The opening of this hotel marks the continuation of our expansion across the City, and we are excited for what lies ahead. We have identified more than 100 locations across London where we would like to open a new hotel and have three more hotels under construction in Beckenham, Chiswick and Stratford as we continue to expand our London estate.'
