The offer is in line with the hotels’ current book value.

LXi REIT plans to use the bulk of the proceeds for debt repayment if a sale is finalised.

This is expected to decrease the group’s loan-to-value ratio to 34% from 38% as of 30 September 2023, as well as Travelodge’s share of the total rent income from 18% to 11%.

This deal comes after Travelodge announced the opening of Travelodge Madrid Coslada Aeropuerto in Spain last month.

In June 2023, the company signed a franchise agreement with Tifco to open a hotel in Dublin.

In 1985, Travelodge opened its first hotel at Barton-under-Needwood, introducing a budget hotel brand in the UK.

The company currently manages 600 hotels spanning the UK, Spain and Ireland, hosting more than 21 million guests a year.

The Travelodge rooms feature a range of amenities, such as an en-suite bathroom with shower, desk area, separate pull-out beds, and reading lights.

Meanwhile, LXI REIT focuses on investing in commercial properties in the UK.

It leases or pre-leases these properties to a range of tenants in different sectors for long periods, with agreements linked to inflation.
