Travelodge hoping to expand into Seaton area

Travelodge has listed Seaton as a potential site for a new hotel.

The hotel chain has listed the Seaton and Lyme Regis area as one of its 'target' areas as it expands its property portfolio.

More than 80 new Travelodges have been opened across Great Britain in the past five years, and the company is now looking for further development opportunities.

If it were to open in Seaton, it would be the second national hotel chain to open in the town, with Premier Inn having opened off in 2018.

Tony O'Brien, Travelodge's UK Development Director, said: "We are currently seeking development opportunities that could incorporate a new Travelodge hotel, either on its own or as part of a mixed-use scheme, and will consider new developments and conversions of existing buildings and hotels operated by other brands.

"In 2021, we opened 17 new hotels, in locations including Bristol, Kendal, Leicester, London, Mansfield, Poole, Rochdale, Sandwich, St Albans and Witney and are looking to open a similar number each year.

"If you have details of a site or hotel that is available and could be redeveloped as a Travelodge then please contact our Development Manager responsible for the region where the property is located.

"Our interactive map below highlights our target requirements and provides contact details for our Development Managers. However, this list is not exhaustive and the DM's will be delighted to consider any opportunities within their areas.

"You can make a site introduction either by contacting the relevant development manager directly.

"Thank you again for taking interest in our hotel development programme."
