Travelodge has announced that Liverpool Central Queens Dock & Arena Travelodge has been refitted as part of its wider multi-million pound refit programme. This is the group’s most significant transformation to date and is continuing to evolve at pace. The investment is delivering strong commercial and customer benefits, with hotels across key business and leisure destinations in the UK upgraded to a new, premium design.

Travelodge has already upgraded approximately two-thirds of its room estate to its new design and continues to evolve its quality offering to deliver a better experience for its diverse customer base.

The new Travelodge premium look and feel design features 

A new hub of the hotel – a redesigned elegant reception 

The new reception area has been designed in a warm timeless classic style featuring a decorative panel design, soft low LED lighting, stylish leather bench seating and wooden style flooring. The new colour palette includes the new warm Travelodge signature navy blue shade complemented against a palette of fresh tranquil neutral shades – creating a big warm welcome from Travelodge.     

The next generation multi-dimensional Travelodge room  

The new Travelodge room offers everything a business or leisure guest needs for a comfortable, relaxing stay and most importantly a good night’s sleep. The room has been smartly decorated to create a multi-dimensional space by utilising the signature Travelodge navy blue colour for the R&R section of the room and a serene colour palette for the functional and energising side of the room where you need to work and get ready. 

All rooms include a luxurious king-size Travelodge Dreamer bed, dressed with crisp white bed linen and a cosy 10.5 tog duvet and comfy pillows. The bed sits within a recessed LED lighted headboard that emanates a soft, warm glow to aid relaxation and features bedside reading lights and USB charging points. Located above the bed is a bespoke piece of artwork commissioned by Travelodge which has been inspired by classic lullabies, with clever use of playful and discoverable elements to help you drift off to sleep. Completing the room is blackout curtains and a full-length mirror complete with power sockets.

The en-suite bathroom also features a new brilliant white complementary design and décor with complimentary hand, hair and body wash.
