Premier Hotels is bringing the Howard Johnson (HoJo) and Days Inn brands to the UK in a £300m spending spree.
It has signed a franchise agreement with Cendant which will see the troubled US consumer services group open 60 HoJos and Days Inns in the next three years.
The first will be a £9m Days Inn, near the Imperial War Museum, in London, in November. Work is under way on an £8m HoJos in West Bromwich due to open in October.
