Division of Novotel (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vote

'division' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of novotel' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'VOTE' can be found hidden inside 'novotel'.

(Other definitions for vote that I've seen before include "Ballot, exercise of franchise" , "What suffragettes wanted" , "Indicate choice in an election" , "Formal indication of opinion in an election" , "Put one's cross" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
