Premier Inn

Today we have over 780 hotels in the UK and Ireland and are targeting 85,000 Premier Inn bedrooms by 2020.  We bring extensive experience to all our development projects and offer highly competitive terms, the benefits of a FTSE-100 backed covenant and a variety of formats that make development opportunities work.

Flexibility underlies our success. To support our expansion, we are looking for freehold sites, leasehold opportunities and going concern sales across the UK, Ireland and Germany. We also have an excellent track record of successful joint-ventures and opportunity-led developments across the country. 

More information on what we offer at Premier Inn, our formats and our current site requirements are below.  If you have an opportunity that you think would work for us, please contact a member of the property acquisition team.

Formats and specifications

There is no fixed format for Premier Inn, we can be very flexible for the right site.  Broadly speaking we create stand-alone hotel sites, joint sites consisting of a Premier Inn hotel with adjoining branded restaurant and small-format sites.  More information on all three is in the presentation below.

Target locations - UK

We secured 31 new hotel locations in the UK in the 2017/18 financial year (equivalent to 4,300 new UK Premier Inn bedrooms).  We are targeting a similar number of hotel sites this year.  A list of our requirements for the UK and Ireland is below.
