New Travelodge hotel planned for Bury St Edmunds

Travelodge, the UK budget hotel chain, has announced the next wave of its ongoing UK expansion programme.

The group expects to open 17 new hotels across the UK in 2019, including one in Bury St Edmunds. Ideal for wedding guests looking for budget-friendly accommodation, the new developments will increase the hotel network to 595 locations in the UK, Spain and Ireland.

Peter Gowers, Travelodge chief executive said, "Despite the uncertainty facing the UK, the long-term prospects for low-cost hotels remain strong. The next phase of our expansion plan will see us deliver more choice in more places than ever before. We've come a long way from our early days by the side of the motorway and today's Travelodge not only offers the same great value as always, but the extra choice of our new Travelodge Plus and SuperRoom concepts – ideal for those for who want just that little bit more.”
