Travelodge to spend 2 million on two London hotels
Travelodge is to spend £2 million refurbishing two of its London hotels.
The hotels in Marylebone and Wembley will be completely fitted out in the "new modern, fresh" Travelodge design.
This includes a new room design which has been created by Travelodge customers and includes a bespoke luxury king size bed, a sleep-inducing colour scheme (blue and cream), a larger desk, new carpet, artwork above the bed and a white contemporary en-suite bathroom.
The work, which starts this week, is part of a £57 million company-wide refurbishment programme.
By autumn this year, 80% of the Travelodge estate will be refurbished with new design.
In total the group is spending £9 million refurbishing its London properties.
Managing director Paul Harvey said: "Our Wembley and Marylebone hotels are receiving the biggest share of investment from the programme as both properties were conversions of going concerns, and they need the extra cash to fully convert them into the new Travelodge style."
