Full list of 300 locations where Travelodge is looking to open new hotels
Travelodge has revealed plans to open 300 new hotels across the UK, in what would represent a £3billion project for the brand and its third party investors.
The budget hotel chain announced today that it has reached out to 220 Local Authorities across Britain as it starts its search for the new hotel sites.
In a letter to the organisations, the company has said that its hotels have already boosted different regions and been "a key player in their local regeneration and growth programmes" as well as creating jobs and attracting visitors.
The chain is also targeting over 120 towns which do not currently have a Travelodge hotel, such as Ripon, Lichfield and Cromer.
With the new 300 hotels being proposed, it estimates that around 9,000 jobs would be created as part of the project.

Steve Bennett, Travelodge Chief Property & Development Officer said: "In the current climate, Local Authorities are under extreme pressure to invest in their economy and support regeneration projects. This is why we are today writing to 220 Local Authorities to offer our support, as we can make a real difference.
"We have a proven track record of working with 25 forward-thinking Local Authorities across the UK from Ashford to Stirling. Our effective, innovative co-partnership development deals are spearheading regional economic growth and providing a solid long-term revenue stream.”
"Britain is now a nation of budget travellers, with more of us choosing to stay in budget hotels than any other hotel type and this trend is set to grow, which is why we are looking to expand our UK hotel network with a further 300 hotels. Adding a Travelodge hotel can be a catalyst to attract new businesses, support regeneration, bring vacant buildings back into economic use as well as attracting thousands of new overnight visitors to the area and revitalising High Streets.
"In addition, our research shows that, on average, Travelodge customers will spend at least double their room rate with local businesses during their stay; this can be an annual, multi-million pound boost into the local economy."
