The new-build hotel forms part of a mixed-use development at Portside Retail Park, delivered in partnership with The Burney Group. In addition to the standalone hotel, the development also includes 3 new Drive-Thrus for Starbucks, KFC and Burger King, 2 new stores for Howdens and Screw Fix, an Air Rescue Centre and 8 Electric Vehicle charging points.

Travelodge Harwich is located just a short drive from Harwich International railway station, with direct services to Colchester and London Liverpool Street. The International Port is a six-minute drive away, offering ferry connections to the Hook of Holland and onward access to Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam.

Guests can explore Harwich's historic town, with its maritime heritage and coastal views. Local highlights include Ha'penny Pier and Dovercourt Boating Lake, while Dovercourt Bay Beach is just two miles from the hotel - ideal for family days out.

The hotel will feature Travelodge's latest premium look and feel, including a contemporary reception and next generation rooms designed for comfort and convenience. Parking is available for hotel guests.

Sam Turner of Carter Jonas acted as Travelodge's Development Manager for this project.

In 1985, Travelodge opened the UK’s very first budget hotel on the A38, in Barton under Needlewood. Today the company is the country’s fastest growing and most innovative hotel chain with over 500 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain. Travelodge is the largest hotel brand in London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Cambridge. Around 80% of Travelodge hotels are now located in major city centres, towns and popular holiday hotspots.

In 1985, we reinvented the concept of the low cost overnight stay by launching the UK’s first budget hotel chain. For over 30 years, we’ve been there for our customers in the right place and at the right price enabling them to stay away from home in a comfortable room, whatever their reason for travelling – whether visiting family and friends, arriving on time for a meeting, watching their favourite band or taking the kids to the zoo.
