Brighton and Hove City Council opened a rest centre to provide support for people evacuated from their homes.
On Sunday Morning , The Fire service said it was " scaling back operations" from The Blaze , which at its height had 15 fire engines at The Scene .
'Heart of our city'Council leader Bella Sankey said on Saturday Night : " These are very sad scenes in our city this evening.
" On behalf of The City council I want to give my thanks to The Emergency services for attending The Fire at the historic Royal Albion Hotel in The Heart of our city.
" We urge everyone to continue following advice from emergency services and to please Keep Away from the area. "
The 219-bedroom Hotel , which was built in 1826, is run by Britannia Hotels .
