The new Glasgow Travelodge will be located adjacent to the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital which has the largest hospital campus in western Europe. Company leaders said the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Travelodge would be a new-build, 60-room hotel with a bar café and on-site car-parking.

The new Stirling Travelodge will be located within walking distance of Stirling Castle and train station. It will have 74 rooms.

Both will create 50 new jobs and represent an investment of £11 million.
