Dozens of fire engines and emergency service workers rushed to the hotel to deal with the fire, but it was quickly contained.

Fire investigators are looking into what happened, but have said they are no longer treating it as suspicious.


It is believed to have been started as a result of a piece of machinery malfunctioning at a flat that is being developed.
