Travelodge, the UK’s first budget hotel chain, which operates nearly 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, has today announced that it has exchanged contracts for a new hotel in Stratford, London.
Planning permission has been granted to transform a vacant office building (Gredley House, 1-11 Broadway) into a 151-room Travelodge – which, once open, will be the group’s 85th hotel in London. It will also be Travelodge’s closest hotel to Stratford Station, offering National Rail, Underground and DLR connections – making it an ideal base for both leisure and business travellers.
The new Travelodge will be built to a BREEAM Excellent standard and will feature the group’s new premium look and feel design, as well as its new 85 Bar Cafe – offering a relaxing and modern space for guests to eat and drink.
Barnes Construction, which was responsible for building London Wimbledon Central Travelodge (opened October 2022) and is also on site building a new Travelodge hotel in London Chiswick, is the appointed contractor for the project and will be commencing construction of the hotel in May this year.
Travelodge has agreed a 25-year lease term with the building’s owner, Unex Group, who has been a long-term investor in the area for over 50 years.
