Travelodge will be opening six new hotels this year - including a brand new development in Hexham.
The firm has announced the plans, reported by WalesOnline - representing an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds and which should result in hundreds of jobs around the country - alongside schemes which will begin construction in 2023. Along with Hexham, there are plans for four new hotels in London (in the Docklands, Lewisham, Peckham and Wimbledon), along with one in Braintree in Essex.
The Hexham venue will, according to the Travelodge website, be bookable from June 20, with the firm putting the final touches to the new development. It has been build on the old Hexham bunker as part of a huge transformation - which will also include a Lidl.
