How many hotels does Travelodge have in the UK?
Founded in 1985, we are Britain’s very first budget hotel chain. Today, Travelodge is one of the largest budget hotel chains in the UK, with a well-invested and modernised portfolio of 630 hotels that have over 47,000 rooms across the UK, Ireland and Spain. Travelodge has revealed a slump in profits for the past six months after it was impacted by weaker demand in London and soaring labour costs. The hotel group also revealed a dip in revenues but bosses said it reflected a “solid” half-year in the face of “challenging” market conditions.
