Travelodge to open more hotels this year

Travelodge to open more hotels this year 10/03/2010

The 104-room York Micklegate Ramada Encore will be rebranded as the York Central Micklegate Travelodge; the 70-room Best Western Stansted Manor Hotel becomes the Bishops Stortford Travelodge; and a 43-room independent hotel becomes the Edinburgh Central Rose Street Travelodge.

The three boost Travelodge's portfolio to 395 hotels and over 28,000 rooms.

The chain said "all non-essential and ancillary items", such as fridges, trouser presses and "unnecessary bathroom toiletries" have been removed and the hotels have undergone a refurbishment programme to reflect its "low-cost philosophy".

In addition, a new pricing policy has been introduced, cutting the lowest room rate to £19, from £65 at the Best Western and £53 at the Ramada.

Dubai International Capital-owned Travelodge plans to grow its estate to 70,000 rooms and approximately 1,000 hotels by 2020.
