Where you'll find us

Here we call our Head Office our Support Centre. Quite simply because we’re here to support our amazing teams across the UK and Ireland.

Across the UK & Ireland

From Truro to Thurso and everywhere in between, at Whitbread we have more than 1,200 hotels and restaurants in the UK and Ireland. We are always where our guests need us and we're opening new hotels all the time.

Whitbread Court, Dunstable

Not far from the large town of Luton and neighbouring Houghton Hall Park, we’ve just had a big refurb of the Support Centre, making it a place we're really proud to show off. With an onsite restaurant, coffee shop and auditorium, there’s Whitbread history throughout the walls and more being made every day.

Holborn, London

It's an inspiring space in a great location, with the atmosphere of a thriving start-up. We're well-connected and surrounded by just about everything you could ever need. Coming soon… our new London offices in Chancery Lane! Follow our socials for updates
