Travelodge was formerly a division of Forte Hotels, and was known as Forte Travelodge. Since then, it has become a company in its own right and has over four hundred Travelodge hotels, mainly located beside motorways and major roads, although more and more hotels are being opened in city centres. The first hotel was opened in 1985 at Barton-under-Needwood on the A38 near Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Travelodge UK also operate eleven hotels in the Republic of Ireland and five hotels in Spain, with expansion plans announced in 2011 for fifty more hotels in Spain with its development partner Citygrove
In the 1980s, Lord Forte bought the US Travelodge brand and established it in Britain. He attached them to many of his Little Chefs as Little Lodge before later rebranding them as Travelodges.
In 1995, it was bought by Granada, when the Forte Group (formerly Trusthouse Forte) underwent a very unharmonious hostile takeover. In 2001, when Granada de-merged (creating Moto), it became owned by Compass Group.
In 2003, it was acquired by Permira under the name of TLLC Group Holdings Ltd (113 Little Chefs, owned by TLLC, were nextdoor to Travelodges), moving its headquarters from Toddington in Bedfordshire to Thame in Oxfordshire in June 2003.
In 2004, it bought the Drury Lane Moat House hotel for £11m, and the London Farringdon and London Islington Thistle hotels.In July of that year, it decided to sell 136 of its hotels for £400m, then lease them back.
