Travelodge has announced it wants to open three more hotels in Nottinghamshire as part of a multi-million pound investment which could create 75 jobs. Travelodge, which already operates ten hotels across the county, is hoping to open a further three - in Nottingham city centre, in the Trent Bridge area, and in Mansfield.
The business has written to Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and Mansfield District Council about its proposals, which it states can act as a "catalyst to stimulate regeneration and facilitate further growth". Travelodge currently operates almost 600 hotels in the UK and plans to open a further 300 across the country.
Steve Bennett, Travelodge chief property and 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 have written to three local authorities across Nottinghamshire to offer our support as we have a requirement to nearly double our Nottinghamshire portfolio with a further three Travelodge hotels across the region.
