Travelodge is in a hurry to build more hotels in London, and so it is importing its properties, pre-fab, in containers from China, reports Fred A. Bernstein in the New York Times (5/11/08). Travelodge current projects include two "modular" hotels, one in Uxbridge and the other near Heathrow airport. Both were designed by Travelodge with each room built as a metal container by a company called Verbus Systems near Shenzen, China, "ready to be stacked into buildings up to 16 stories tall."
