Travelodge has said the hotel, which is located close the the Bristol Ministry of Defence offices within easy access to the M4, M5 and Bristol city centre, is scheduled to open for summer trading in 2024.
Bristol Abbey Wood Travelodge will be modelled to the group's new look and will include low cost efficiencies. The hotel will feature the group's on-site restaurant called The Bar Café offering a breakfast, dinner and bar menu.
The hotel group also announced its Bristol expansion programme and is actively looking for a further four hotel sites in the city and surrounding area. This expansion programme could represent a multi-million pound investment for third party investors and create over a hundred new jobs.
Steve Bennett, chief property and development officer, Travelodge, said: "We are delighted to have reached this important milestone in the construction of our seventh hotel in Bristol. The topping out ceremony was a great opportunity to celebrate the great work Marshall Construction is doing and to thank everyone who has supported us so far.
“We are on schedule to open our Bristol Abbey Wood Travelodge in time for summer trading in 2024.
“This development is just the start of our expansion plans in Bristol. The city is growing from strength to strength and attracting record visitor numbers however there remains a shortage for good quality and low cost accommodation in Bristol. To help fill this gap, we are actively looking for a further four hotel sites across the city. This expansion programme could represent a multi-million investment for third party investors, create over a hundred new jobs and offer our customers more choice of locations to stay in Bristol.”
