The Penhallow Hotel fire was a suspected arson attack that occurred in Newquay, Cornwall in August 2007. Three people were killed and it was reported as the worst hotel fire in the United Kingdom in nearly 40 years. The hotel was a well-known hotel for holiday makers ranging from families to older residents. It had been built in Island Crescent between 1912 and 1917, and had been altered more than once. The building had a wooden fire escape at the rear, and a central light shaft running from the ground floor up to the roof in the centre of the hotel. Both of these aspects of the building played a dramatic role in the outcome of the fire. Many of those that escaped the fire were elderly holiday makers.

  • The Penhallow Hotel fire was a suspected arson attack that occurred in Newquay, Cornwall in August 2007. Three people were killed and it was reported as the worst hotel fire in the United Kingdom in nearly 40 years. The hotel was a well-known hotel for holiday makers ranging from families to older residents. It had been built in Island Crescent between 1912 and 1917, and had been altered more than once. The building had a wooden fire escape at the rear, and a central light shaft running from the ground floor up to the roof in the centre of the hotel. Both of these aspects of the building played a dramatic role in the outcome of the fire. Many of those that escaped the fire were elderly holiday makers. Police at the time concluded that the fire must have been started by an intentional act. However the inquest returned open verdicts as the coroner claimed there was insufficient evidence to rule the victims were unlawfully killed. The remainder of the building was demolished, and the land has since been redeveloped as modern apartments. (en)
