The Royal Bank of Scotland is putting six of its hotels up for sale as the banking group aims to sell all its non-core businesses.

The properties include the 821-bed Hilton Manchester Airport, 170-bed Hilton St Anne’s Manor in Bracknell, the 181-bed Hilton Warwick, the 334-bed Hilton Brighton Metropole, the 319-bed Hilton Glasgow, and the 96-bed Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor.

RBS has appointed CB Richard Ellis Hotels to handle the sale which already sold three other Hilton properties in the UK this year for £40m.

RBS hopes to sell its non-core asset in a bid to return to profitability after losing £3.6bn last year and £24.3bn in 2008.
