Travelodge opens new 72 room hotel in London Beckenham

Travelodge has announced the official opening of a brand new, 72-room hotel in Beckenham, London.

The new-build hotel forms part of a larger, six-story mixed-use redevelopment by Dunward Properties.

London Beckenham Travelodge features the brand’s latest premium design, including next-generation rooms and a contemporary reception area.

Tony O’Brien, UK development director at Travelodge, said: “We are thrilled to open our new Travelodge in Beckenham. It’s a fantastic, well-connected spot in South East London that’s perfect for both business and leisure stays.

“We now have over 80 Travelodge hotels across London, and this latest opening not only gives our customers more choice in the capital but creates 14 new jobs and supports the local community.”

It comes after the company announced the opening of a brand new, 68-room hotel in Harwich, Essex. Like the site in Beckenham, the Harwich hotel forms part of a mixed-use development at Portside Retail Park, delivered in partnership with The Burney Group.

In addition to the standalone hotel, the development also includes three new drive-thrus for Starbucks, KFC and Burger King, two new stores for Howdens and Screw Fix, an Air Rescue Centre and eight Electric Vehicle charging points.

Travelodge has continued to invest in its ongoing hotel refit programme and has already upgraded approximately 65% of the Travelodge room estate to its new design. The brand is also evolving its quality offering such as its new look Bar Cafe design, 85 Bar Café, which has been rolled out to selected UK hotels as part of the refit programme.

Travelodge now has a portfolio of 630 hotels and over 47,000 bedrooms across the UK, Ireland and Spain.
