London Fire Brigade said: ‘Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters have been called to a fire at a hotel on Chiltern Street in Marylebone.
Located on Chiltern Street, it occupies a historic Victorian fire station, originally built in 1889 as the Chiltern Street Fire Station.
“The Brigade’s 999 Control officers were first called at 1452 and deployed fire crews from Euston, Soho, Paddington, Soho, West Hampstead, Kensington and Chelsea fire stations and are still at the scene.
“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 fire has broken out at the Chiltern Firehouse hotel in Marylebone just hours before Valentine’s Day dinner service.
