Travelodge has opened a 73-room hotel in Wakefield city centre, the first in its estate to trial a new self-service food and beverage concept.
The opening marks the budget hotel operator’s third property in the Wakefield area and its 21st in the wider region. The company said it has taken a new 25-year lease on the site as part of its strategy to expand through the acquisition and conversion of existing hotels.
The hotel has been refurbished to feature Travelodge’s latest design, including a multi-functional reception area, next-generation rooms with the brand’s Dreamer king-size bed, work-friendly layouts, high-speed Wi-Fi, LED lighting and water-saving technology.
The Wakefield hotel will also become the first in the Travelodge estate to trial a new self-service food and beverage concept, featuring a hot pizza vending machine, hot bakery machine and barista-style coffee machine alongside the brand’s existing vending machines and breakfast-to-go offering.
Located in Wakefield city centre, the hotel is within walking distance of Trinity Walk Shopping Centre and Wakefield train station. The opening is expected to create 16 jobs.
Jeff Hocking of Whitestone Retail and Leisure acted as Travelodge’s retained development manager for the acquisition.
Tony O’Brien, UK development director of Travelodge, said: “We are delighted to officially open our new Travelodge in Wakefield town centre. This is our third hotel in the Wakefield area and 21st in the region, and the first branded budget hotel in the town centre, providing a strong base for both business and leisure guests.
“We have taken a new 25-year lease on the property, reflecting our continued investment in strong city centre locations and commitment to delivering great value accommodation. With requirements to open around 300 more Travelodges throughout the UK, acquiring and rebranding other operators’ hotels will play an important role in this programme.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
