NATIONAL hotel chain Premier Inn has set out its ambition for new hotels across the country, including in Gwent.
The chain has earmarked six new locations for hotels in Wales as they look to expand.
Documents from Whitbread, the firm which owns Premier Inn, have shown the locations they are targeting.
The list is updated every year as new hotels are built and fresh demand is identified.
Newport is included among the list of target locations in Wales.
The other areas are Betws-y-Coed, Carmarthen, Milford Haven, Mumbles and Newtown.
Just across the border in England, Premier Inn are targeting two sites in Bath and one at Bristol Airport.
