Hotel chain Travelodge have announced that they are looking to open their first premises in Tenby.

An expansion programme was announced on Tuesday at the official opening of Rhyl Seafront Travelodge, the hotel company’s 576th hotel and it’s 27th in Wales, with the firm stating that it was actively looking for seven new hotels sites across the country, with Tenby identified as one of the key target areas.

Travelodge development director Tony O’Brien said: “As Wales’ first branded budget hotel chain we are delighted to celebrate 32 years of trading in Wales by opening our first hotel in Rhyl, and announcing plans to open a further seven hotels including our first in Tenby.”

“During the last three decades we have become symbolic in Wales for offering great value.

“However, with locations such as Tenby growing from strength to strength there is a shortage of good quality and low cost accommodation to fulfil demand. Therefore we are looking to expand our portfolio in Wales with a further seven hotels, this will boost our presence to 34,” he added.
