Splendid Hospitality Group signed a franchise agreement in Reading with easyHotel, the owner, developer, operator and franchisor of “super budget” branded hotels, in November 2016.

THPT Comment: a departure in style for Splendid, currently with top-end hotels such as the Hilton London Bankside, The five-star Grand Hotel, York, Hotel Indigo York and Edinburgh, although they do have five Holiday Inn Express, an Ibis and a Comfort Inn, but this takes them into the super-budget sector.
