Travelodge 2023: A year in review
our 2023 Round Up
Christmas is just around the corner - time flies doesn’t it? We’ve had a busy year at Travelodge, opening new hotels in top cities like London and Madrid, refurbishing over 4,000 rooms and revealing our new 85 Bar Café. Travelodge employees strutted their stuff at our first ever Pride Parades in Brighton and Manchester, then we rounded off the year with our brand new ad campaign, Better Get A Travelodge. Now we’ve reached December, it’s the perfect time to reflect on an extraordinary twelve months.
Let’s celebrate 2023 by rounding up some of our most unusual guest requests, business highlights and a few fun facts of the year.
What crazy requests did our guests make this year?
Can you watch our dogs whilst we get married?
Can I have a kebab and a foot rub?
Does your pet charge include an Eagle?
Can I get a chauffeur rather than an Uber please so I can arrive at my meeting in style?
Here’s what we’ve been up to over this busy year…
-
More people have stayed in our SuperRoomsTM this year than the population of Edinburgh. That’s over 550,000 people!
-
We refurbished more hotel rooms than Premier League goals scored in the past 5 years
-
Our RoboVac Buddies have covered the distance from Birmingham to New York - over 3,300 miles!
