    Not 1 new hotel, but 2! 🤩 This week we’ve opened our newest hotel in Paddington, London and it combines two of our hotel brands, Premier Inn and hub by Premier Inn, offering our guests 369 new bedrooms. 🏨 The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in Westminster supported us with the hiring of our new team from the local area and we are proud to welcome 80 new team members to #Whitbread. The team dedicated time to supporting the local community as part of our new hotel opening journey and our Force for Good strategy. Using ActionFunder they picked charities that were important to them: ☀️Clarion Futures Summer Activities 💙Maiden’s Lane Food Bank 🪴Seedling’s Community Garden 😁Happy Hub Summer Club Alongside this, the team spent 79 hours in Happy Hub Summer Club helping prep for their holiday activities and carried out fundraising for our charity partner Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. This dual-branded hotel is the first of its kind at Whitbread and the team has already made sure they are making their mark. We want to wish all the team good luck in their new hotels and say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the opening. 🍀 Interested in hearing more about our latest hotel?

    Congratulations on 3️⃣ 5️⃣ years Sharon! Many followers of this feed will know Sharon through her work supporting the roll-out of Premier Inn, hub by Premier Inn and our restaurant brands across the country. She keeps projects on track and budgets in check – a critical role for Whitbread as we grow – whilst keeping morale high in the support centre through her infectious laugh and upbeat demeanour. What you may not know is that Sharon is one of the longest serving members of Whitbread Property, having spent most of her long career working in team. She’s also the boss of the netball court 🏀 outside of work as she travels up and down the country in support of her daughters’ sporting passion. 👑 Take a bow Sharon 👑. We’re lucky to have you, and a truckload of prosecco 🥂 is on the way with our thanks 🙏🏻. #congratulations #career #thanks #whitbread

    It was the sound of the underground for our R+M team on Thursday (25th July) as they valiantly trekked around the route of London's circle line in the name of raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. That's a route of 15+ miles, or 50k steps per person 🚶🏻♂️, taking in 36 stations including most of the main termini serving the capital. It's fair to say everyone had an enjoyable day whilst putting in the effort going on these photos. The team took time out from running our national network of Premier Inn hotels and Whitbread restaurants to fundraise towards the Gt Ormond Street Children's Cancer Centre, raising an incredible £9.5k so far. Sincere thanks to everyone who has donated so far and if anyone else would like to contribute, the JustGiving is link here: https://lnkd.in/e7avBez5 Thanks are due to Brian Steere, our national maintenance manager, for organising the day and chapeau to all of the walkers for going the distance. #whitbread #charity #fundraising #teamwork

    Recognise some of these faces? 👀 You may have seen them in our new Premier Inn TV Advert. 🎬 The ad features six real Premier Inn employees, portraying themselves on screen. From Hotel Managers to Ground Floor Team Members and Receptionists, it was such an exciting opportunity for everyone to get involved. The theme of the advert is ‘Do Your Thing’ and over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing what each team member's ‘thing’ is. We’ll also be sharing how they found the experience of filming the ad. 🎥 You can check out the advert here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_ZyW86U #PremierInn #PremierInnTVAdvert #RestEasy #DoYourThing #Whitbread
