Fire ravages Kuta hotel<\/p>\n
Several parts of the four-star Mercure hotel in Bali's prime
\ntourism district of Kuta were destroyed on Tuesday night after
\nfire razed its fourth floor.<\/p>\n
No fatalities were reported.<\/p>\n
The fire tied up dozens of firefighters for hours and forced
\nthe hotel management to evacuate all of their 200 guests.<\/p>\n
The fire was finally extinguished at around 3 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n
Hotel resident manager Tony Andrianto disclosed on Tuesday
\nmorning that the fire first broke out at around 10.30 p.m. at the
\nin-house spa facility on the hotel's fourth floor.<\/p>\n
The fire then quickly engulfed the kitchen on the fourth
\nfloor.<\/p>\n
\"Not a single guest room was damaged by the fire,\" Andrianto
\nsaid, dismissing rumors that 20 guest rooms on the fourth floor
\nwere destroyed.<\/p>\n
The police are still investigating the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
The 130-room Mercure, opened in December last year, was
\nlocated next to the always-busy night entertainment spots of Hard
\nRock Hotel and Hard Rock Cafe, and right across the street from
\nKuta beach. -- JP<\/p>",
