Low-cost hotel chain Travelodge says that the opening of its latest London property in Ealing means that it is now the biggest hotel brand in the capital.

The Ealing hotel has added 99 rooms to Travelodge’s London portfolio, which now totals 5,714 rooms across 40 properties, compared to Hilton’s 5,690 (according to independent verification by hotel consultant Melvin Gold).

Travelodge says that it is on track to have at least 50 hotels and nearly 7,000 rooms in London by the start of the Olympic Games next year.

In the last six months the group has signed eight new London properties in Balham, Edmonton Green, Enfield, Finchley, Greenwich, Sidcup, Teddington and Walthamstow.
