Millennium & Copthorne Hotels has launched an asset review that could lead to a sale of some of its properties.
They could include the Copthorne Tara, in Kensington, West London, although it could be kept until the whole UK Copthorne chain is eventually sold.
The company might take advantage of proposed gambling deregulation in the UK to lease out space in its London hotels to casino operators.
