Premier Inn has that it plans to open two new hotels in the UK city of Stratford-upon-Avon.
The new properties will create 75 new jobs in the city.
The budget chain, owned by leisure group Whitbread plc, said the new hotels would be an 87-room property in Payton Street and a 130-room property at the Waterways on Birmingham Road.
The first is due to open in spring, 2011 while the second is due to open in the summer of next year.
John Bates, head of acquisitions for Whitbread Hotels & Restaurants, said: "We're bringing investment, jobs and 200 plus new bedrooms to Stratford.
"That's a major package of improvements and we want to be part of a successful Stratford regeneration and business story."
Premier Inn is also planning to create almost 1,000 new jobs in London between now and summer 2012 through a variety of new openings including the new Stratford site (opposite the Olympic stadium), extending its position as London's leading budget hotel operator with 13 new locations at sites ranging from Greenwich to Islington.
