Christie & Co and Travelodge

Christie + Co has been appointed by Travelodge to assist with the identification of suitable going concern hotel acquisition opportunities. Travelodge prefer to lease their hotels and, in order to fuel their ambitious expansion plans, they are looking to secure new lease agreements with existing hotel operators. Christie + Co's Travelodge project team is looking for hotels with more than 40 bedrooms, which will complement Travelodge's going concern acquisition strategy and are suitable for conversion to the brand. Hotels owners who are interested in leasing their property to Travelodge could retain a strong income and valuable property investment without all the operational headaches.
