Fire crews from across Sussex were called to the Royal Albion Hotel on Brighton seafront on 15 July.
A fire which ripped through an historic hotel in East Sussex was caused by a discarded cigarette, firefighters have confirmed.
Crews from across Sussex were called to the Grade II listed building on the Old Steine, with around 70 firefighters on the scene at the height of the blaze. An investigation by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service has now concluded that the fire was "accidental" - and most likely started by a discarded cigarette which had not been completely extinguished.
