“We are recruiting for key roles across our UK hotels and at head office.”

The new hotels are in London, Stockport, East Grinstead, Kings Lynn, Andover and Peterhead, creating positions for managers, housekeepers, receptionists, bar staff and cleaners.

Around 50 jobs will be filled at Travelodge’s head office in Thame, Oxfordshire.
