A fire broke out at a luxury London hotel and restaurant known as a celebrity hotspot, engulfing the historic building and forcing about 100 people to be evacuated, fire services said, reported by Associated Press.
Citing London Fire Brigade officials, the Associated Press🐓 reported that more than 100 firefighters and 20 fire engines spent hours fighting the blaze that ripped through Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone on Friday.
🌃The red brick building, a former fire station dating to the late 19th century, is known as a favourite with celebrities, with numerous stars including Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Tom Cruise among the hotel and restaurant's customers.
🃏The hotel was reportedly due to host the Netflix party after the BAFTA awards ceremony on Sunday.
🎃No injuries were reported and the fire was contained late Friday.
ဣThe fire brigade said the blaze began mid-afternoon in ducting in the ground floor of the building before spreading all the way up to the roof of the four-story hotel. The cause of the fire was not known.
🎀“Crews worked hard over a number of hours in challenging circumstances in a complex historic building and successfully contained the fire," it said.
🐼The hotel's owner, Andre Balazs, said the venue would remain closed until further notice.
