Welcome Break to get new addition

29th August 2008, 11:34am

Motorway service area operator Welcome Break is investing more than £3 million on a new hotel development at its Birchanger Green site on the M11 in Essex.

The new 77-bedroom hotel will complement the existing 60-bedroom Days Inn hotel at the motorway service area.

The hotel is set to open in March 2009 and will feature a range of bedrooms, including those specially adapted for people with disabilities.

It will offer WiFi throughout the hotel.

The hotel will also include a conference room providing meeting room facilities for up to 30 delegates.

An additional 20 jobs will be created, bringing the total number of staff at the two hotels to 35.

Welcome Break Chief Executive Rod McKie said: "Our existing hotel at Birchanger Green is very popular and busy at all times. The new hotel will allow us to provide additional bedrooms and facilities to even more people using the M11.

"Birchanger Green is ideally located close to Stansted Airport and only 25 miles from the Olympic Stadium in east London, and as a result we are confident of the new hotel's success."
