Compass, which demerged from Granada earlier this year, is expected to make £230m from the disposal, and intends to focus more narrowly on its catering business following the sale.
McDonald’s and the Bank of Scotland face some competition in their bid for the hotel chain, from private company Hand Picked Hotels.
