Travelodge (the UK budget hotel chain) is currently owned by the New York–based investment firm GoldenTree Asset Management and a group of co‑investors, via the holding company Thame and London Limited.

Who owns Travelodge?

  • Travelodge Hotels Limited (the main UK business) is ultimately controlled by Thame and London Limited, a holding company set up after Travelodge’s financial restructuring in the 2010s.
  • Thame and London Limited is backed and controlled by funds managed by GoldenTree Asset Management, alongside other institutional investors.
  • In corporate and investor materials, Travelodge refers to GoldenTree as its owner , reflecting its lead role among those investors.

Not the same as Travelodge in North America

  • The UK/Irish/Spanish Travelodge brand is separate from “Travelodge by Wyndham” in the US and Canada, which is owned by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
  • So when people ask “who owns Travelodge?”, they usually mean the UK chain, whose ownership sits with GoldenTree and co‑investors, not Wyndham.

Recent ownership‑related news

  • In 2024, Travelodge agreed to buy 66 Travelodge‑branded hotels from its largest landlord, LXi REIT, in a £210 million deal.
  • The company described this transaction as being supported by “our owner GoldenTree Asset Management,” underlining GoldenTree’s continuing control and financial backing.
