M&C's £232m deal to sell Seoul hotel falls through
The worsening economic crisis hit the hotel group Millennium & Copthorne yesterday when it announced that a deal to sell its hotel in the South Korean capital Seoul has collapsed.
The FTSE 250 listed company had planned to sell the Millennium Seoul Hilton to Kangho for £232.6m, but said that the deal had fallen through after Kangho had been unable to raise finance for the deal.
