A HOTEL was evacuated after a fire broke out last night.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the Daresbury Park Hotel shortly before 11.30pm last night.

Overheating towels in the hotel’s gym facilities caused a blaze, which then spread to a service duct.

The building was evacuated while Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service dealt with the incident.

Four engines were dispatched to the hotel to extinguish the fire and clear smoke from the building.
