GENERAL: MCK: Update on Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand advises that a fire occurred at its
Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin late yesterday evening. All guests and staff at the
hotel at the time were evacuated and accounted for. One guest was treated at
the scene for smoke inhalation. The extent of the damage to the Hotel is yet
to be determined.
"The safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority and we have
relocated our guests to other hotels in Dunedin for the time being", said
Matt Taplin, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels NZ's Vice President of Operations.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined and hotel management is
working with the Fire Service to isolate the cause.
"We expect that we will be able to resume normal operations soon and we
apologise for the inconvenience caused to our guests as a result of the
disruption", said Mr. Taplin.
Guests with reservations at the hotel for Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15
February are asked to contact Millennium & Copthorne's Central Reservations
