Whitbread Plc. brings £6.1 million to London Richmond thanks to new Premier Inn

Whitbread PLC is to open its brand new Premier Inn hotel in London Richmond on 18th June 2012. The property will contribute over £6.1 million to the local economy whilst creating 37 new jobs for the residents of Richmond and its surrounding areas.

The brand new 93 bedroom hotel is situated on Lower Mortlake Road, within walking distance of Richmond, Kew and only a five minute walk from North Sheen station which gets guests into Central London within 25 minutes.

The new hotel is ideal for travellers who want to be within walking distance to transport links and Richmond Park. Guests can enjoy being able to relax away from the hustle of bustle of central London, but still reap the benefits of it being just a short train ride away.

Jonathan Hind, General Manager of Premier Inn London Richmond, commented: "The hotel is ideally located for those looking for a great value weekend break as the area has so much to offer. It will also be extremely convenient for business travellers looking for accommodation just out of the city centre."

Each bedroom caters for up to two adults and two children (aged 15 and under) and includes an en-suite bathroom; a king size bed; remote control TV with Freeview; tea/coffee making facilities and a spacious desk area with Wi-Fi Internet access. The hotel will also offer the All You Can Eat 'Premier Breakfast' in the onsite restaurant.

Premier Inn offers all guests a no quibble 'Good Night Guarantee' at its hotels, which means if customers are not 100% satisfied with their stay they will get their money back.
