Construction work has started on a new £12.5million, 204-bedroom Holiday Inn Express hotel using converted shipping containers as bedrooms. The containers are being transformed into hotel modules in China before being shipped to the UK for assembly on site.
The first batch of modules, which come complete with decoration, furniture and all fittings, are now in place as the hotel gradually takes shape at the Royal Albert Dock in London.
Holiday Inn Express at Royal Albert Dock is located adjacent to London City Airport in an area undergoing extensive regeneration. It will not be the first shipping container hotel in the UK. That honour goes to the Travelodge at Uxbridge which opened in 2008; however Holiday Inn Express Royal Albert Dock will be the largest.
