Business Model & Strategy

Our unique market proposition

We are committed to a clear and focused approach that creates value for our guests. By prioritising the best locations, operational excellence and customer satisfaction, we’ve established a robust foundation for sustainable growth. 

We are synonymous with well-priced quality travel

Our long-standing market presence, outstanding brand recognition and well-invested portfolio has positioned us as the leading brand in the sector we operate in of the UK hotel market – one of the largest and most resilient hotel markets in the world.

We offer customers a stay which is well-priced, well-located and that they can trust – with our diversified portfolio across the UK, Ireland and Spain.

Travelodge currently operates on a predominantly leasehold basis. However our acquisition of 66 hotels in the UK and five properties in Spain marked a positive step as we seek to optimise our portfolio and diversify our freehold/leasehold split to enhance value as well as continually seek further opportunities.
