  • 6 years ago
A huge fire broke out at a luxury hotel in London on Wednesday, just days after it announced the completion of a multi-million-dollar renovation project.
More than 120 firefighters were tackling the blaze at the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel located in the affluent Knightsbridge area.
All guests and staff are believed to have been evacuated and there are no immediate reports of any casualties, but firefighters are still searching the premises to make sure.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but it appeared to have started high in the building or on the roof as black smoke poured from the top of the hotel.
