The five-star Randolph hotel damaged by a major fire last month has re-opened.

The blaze on April 17, started in the kitchen after it is believed a chef flambeed a beef stroganoff, spread up through the 150-year-old building in Beaumont Street.

The building was evacuated and more than 80 people made it out safely as it brought the city to a standstill.

Despite the large fire that saw 14 fire engines across four counties tackle the blaze, the hotel was able to open its doors today to guests.
