Travelodge has teamed up with Inti and has opened a hotel at Lakeside shopping centre. The Lakeside Travelodge is a purpose built, 74 room hotel with a bar and cafe and on-site car-parking and has been designed in the company’s new contemporary brand design. This marks Travelodge’s 550th hotel.  

The opening represents an investment of £7 million from Intu and has created 21 new jobs. 

Regional managing director at Intu, Rebecca Ryman said: “We’re investing millions at the country’s most popular shopping destination, Lakeside, to create an amazing leisure experience. Nickelodeon’s first UK shopping centre attraction is one of a number of exciting leisure brands we’ll be introducing to the centre next year. Having Travelodge on-site will attract even more customers to the centre for longer and from further away.”
