A HOTEL chain has announced it’s upgrading 60 of its properties, including Langley and Maidenhead.

Travelodge is set to revamp its hotels to its new ‘budget-luxe’ design.   

This new design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS with feedback from the company’s largest consumer study - which surveyed around 5,000 UK business and leisure travellers.

Craig Bonnar, Travelodge Chief Executive, said: “Travelodge has been a trailblazer within the UK hotel sector since it opened the UK’s first budget hotel in 1985.

“We are once again evolving by launching a new budget-luxe premium look and feel hotel design whilst maintaining our great value price proposition.

“This is our most radical transformation to date and has been created in response to ever increasing expectations from customers.

“Britain is now a nation of budget travellers, with more of us choosing to stay in budget hotels than any other hotel type and thoughtful, stylish design and homely touches really matter in today’s world when staying away for business or leisure.”

The revamp includes the Bar Café restaurant and a variety of sustainable initiatives.

A new carpet is set to be made from recycled fishing nets, which are part of a project supporting clean ocean initiatives, tackling over 640k tonnes of discarded fishing nets currently impacting marine life.

The carpet backing is also made of old plastic bottles.

Every ten of the bottles which are recycled rather than being sent to landfill saves enough energy to power a laptop for 25 hours.  

The group intends to roll out its new budget-luxe design across its UK estate and has kick-started the programme with a multi-million-pound investment to upgrade 60 hotels this year.
