Quinlan Private interest in hotel

QUINLAN Private, the investment vehicle run by Derek Quinlan, is reportedly the front-runner to buy the hotels brand owned by Marylebone Warwick Balfour.

Marylebone Warwick Balfour, which is listed on the London stock market, owns 20 Malmaison and Hotel du Vin branded hotels across Britain.

In a statement last Friday, Marylebone Warwick Balfour confirmed that Bank of America was hired to handle the sale of the hotels. It did not name any potential bidders.
