Fire, suspected to be of electrical origin, razed a section of La Chateau Van Fago Ketur Hotel at Lot 45 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam yesterday.
According to information, the three storied hotel, which houses eight rooms and is owned by one Suzan James, an expatriate Guyanese, has been unoccupied for the past few months.
The fire reportedly began around 20:00 hrs in the ceiling of the hotel and quickly burst through the roof, engulfing that section of the building. Information revealed that at the time of the fire no one was in the building.
The Guyana Fire service responded quickly and began dousing the flames, which were billowing from the roof of the building.
However, the firefighters encountered problems accessing water from the nearby fire hydrants and had to resort to the Republic Road trench some distance away.
The hotel, which was opened on Valentine’s Day 2013, also housed a bar, internet café and banquette hall.
Divisional Fire Officer Patrick Carmichael expressed appreciation for the work done by his ranks, who were able to contain the fire to the top of the hotel.
The Guyana Fire Service and The Guyana Police Force are conducting investigation.
No one was hurt and the cause of the fire is said to be electrical in nature.
