In an Emergency Prior to your arrival or during your check in we will be happy to discuss your personal emergency evacuation plan and discuss your needs in case of an emergency. If the alarm bell rings, this will be a continuous siren-like sound please make your way to the nearest fire exit and out of the hotel. The safe areas are on all floors and located next to the fireman s lift A lightweight evacuation chair is available to use when needed. If a member of staff cannot reach your room, carefully open the door and check your route to the point of safety. If it is blocked or if there is smoke, go back into your room and close the door. The door to your room is fire resistant for one hour. As soon as the fire brigade arrives we will communicate your room number. Do not block the door with anything, including towels, as this will prevent the fire brigade from entering your room. Do not open any windows as this can increase the air circulating and increase smoke and flames. If the fire is in your room, get out and close the door behind you, breaking a fire alarm if possible on your way out. We test the emergency alarms on Thursdays at 3pm. The siren will sound three times for no more than one minute each time. Other information For extra help before you arrive, please contact our reservations department on 020 7870 2900.
