Više od sto vatrogasaca u srijedu poslijepodne izašlo je na teren u Knightsbridgeu u središtu Londona nakon dojave o velikom požaru u luksuznom hotelu s pet zvjezdica Mandarin Oriental, piše The Sun.
Na terenu je 15 vatrogasnih vozila, a uzrok vatrene stihije još nije poznat.
Nema ni podataka o eventualnim žrtvama, a na brojnim fotografijama i snimkama s mjesta događaja vidi se da se nad hotelom uzdiže oblak gustog dima.
U hotelu, koji gleda na Hyde Park, osim 173 sobe i 25 apartmana, nalazi se i popularni restoran Foliage "okrunjen" Michelinovom zvjezdicom te spa centar.
Spomenuti hotel nedavno je renoviran (uređenje je navodno stajalo 185 milijuna funti), a šteta nastala ovim požarom moći će se procijeniti nakon što se ugasi vatra.
Na službenim stranicama hotela navodi se kako za noćenje u najboljem penthouseu treba izdvojiti čak 4370 funti.
