More than 60 firefighters remain at the scene tackling the blaze on the top floor of the building.

Emergency services, including a total of 12 engines from Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Hertfordshire were alerted to the blaze at the four-star hotel at around 6am.

There were no reports of any fatalities or injuries.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used jets and hose reels to contain the fire, which quickly spread to the roof.

They also used thermal imaging cameras to check for hot spots to prevent the blaze from spreading any further.

A Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said the blaze had been brought under control and that the cause was still unknown at this stage.

"There will be a full investigation once the building is safe and the fire is out," he said.
