About Travelodge
Travelodge was the first budget hotel brand to launch in the UK in 1985 and now operates over 330 hotels (over 20,000 rooms) - in Ireland, Spain and the UK. Travelodge is growing quickly with plans to operate 70,000 rooms (approximately 1000 hotels) by 2020 and aims to be the biggest operator in London by the 2012 Olympics.
Six and a half million people stayed with Travelodge last year and 83% of reservations are currently made online at travelodge.co.uk where room prices start from £19 per room, per night. The chain employs 5,000 staff and is owned by Dubai International Capital, who acquired the organisation from Permira in 2006. In April 2007, Travelodge announced the first stage of a new online retail strategy when it became the first UK hotel company to launch a Travel Insurance product.
Travelodge offers double, disabled-access or family rooms (catering for 2 adults and 2 children under the age of 16). All rooms are en-suite, with luxury king size beds, colour TV and free tea- and coffee-making facilities.
