Brighton Seafront Travelodge
Travelodge has over 500 hotels and 38,000 rooms throughout the UK and, by Autumn 2014, 80% will have been refitted to our new brand standard, as part of our £86 million refurbishment of the whole estate. New openings remain an important part of our strategy and last year we opened seven new hotels. This year we will open 11 more, six of them in London.
With trading performance showing material year-on-year gains, investor confidence in Travelodge’s covenant has resulted in a significant number of Travelodge-lease investment transactions during the last 12 months. This has caused yields to harden and we expect this to continue over the next 12 months. Tony O’Brien, UK Development Director, Travelodge Hotels
