Travelodge plans 36 hotels next to pubs
Travelodge is to offer tipsy drinkers a nearby place to rest their heads, after announcing plans to open 36 hotels next to pubs as part of a £100m expansion drive.
The hotel chain said it had teamed up with pub companies including JD Wetherspoon, Greene King and Marston's to look for joint developments.
Travelodge believes the hotels and pubs will see a mutually beneficial impact and estimates the combined expansion plans will create some 550 jobs by 2015.
The initiative comes as pubs seek fresh ways to retain punters, amid hundreds of closures every year.
