Travelodge, City of London

Mountford Pigott is delighted to announce that a planning application has been submitted on behalf of Travelodge for a 285-bed hotel, which will be Travelodge’s largest development project in the City of London.

The scheme comprises two former office buildings acquired from the City of London at Broad Street Place and Eldon Street, in a prominent position adjacent to the western entrance into Liverpool Street Station for mainline services and for the new Elizabeth Line. The design combines the two buildings, addressing level changes, and remodels and extends the 2 upper floors to Broad Street Place, as well as into the rear lightwell. The Eldon Street building is more substantially remodelled, with a new-build vertical extension of 4 storeys.

The majority of the existing fabric is retained and retrofitted, including the main facades, however the combination of the buildings has allowed the existing cores to be rationalised. Internally, the building provides retail and cultural space at ground floor and basement levels, together with the hotel reception and bar/ café areas, which will also provide active frontage to the key facades. The building will be fitted out to provide a total of 285 hotel rooms, with a broad mix of room types and the building fabric will be comprehensively upgraded to achieve EPC A, with new windows throughout – the scheme will also achieve BREEAM “Excellent”. The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2027.
