Budget hotelier starts work on 100-room base
A budget hotel operator has kickstarted work on a 100-room venture.
Travelodge is building a site at Loughton, in Epping Forest.
Based off the M11, bosses say the base will “help meet growing demand for affordable accommodation within easy reach of London”.
Work on the hotel – which is earmarked to open late next year and set to stand alongside office and self-storage space – is being overseen by developer Higgins Group and principal contractor Barnes Construction.
Tony O’Brien, UK development director, said: “This will further strengthen our presence across the Greater London area.
“Loughton is a prime location for commuters, shoppers and visitors, and our hotel will provide a well-connected base for all types of travellers.”
Declan Higgins, chief executive of Essex-based Higgins Group, added: “We’re really pleased work is underway on the new Travelodge site.”
