It added that officers were first called at 2.52pm and are still at the scene, with the cause of the fire unknown.
In a statement, the LFB said: “There is a fire in ducting which leads from the ground floor to the roof of the four-storey hotel with a restaurant on the ground floor. A plant room at roof level is also alight. “Around one hundred people have evacuated the building before the brigade arrived.”.
