ROME (Reuters) – Italian insurance group Unipol is considering selling its hotels chain Una Hotels, expecting to raise about 1 billion euros ($1.03 billion) from the deal, Il Sole 24 Ore daily reported on Tuesday.
Unipol has picked Goldman Sachs as an adviser to sound out market interest in the potential sale, which would be conducted through selected invitations, the paper said.
Non-binding expressions of interest are expected in the coming days, and BlackRock, Starwood Capital and Sixth Street are expected to be among the invited bidders, according to the newspaper.
