Bosses at the Mount Murray hotel have pledged to have it up and running again as soon as possible.
Although the accommodation block has been completely gutted, the function rooms, gym and other facilities are operational.
A spokesman for the hotel's owner says they will be working round the clock so that it's business as usual in those areas.
Brian Stowell, the technical director of the group which runs the hotel, says repairs will be costly:
