After the giant aquarium burst in a Berlin hotel, it is still unclear when the house will reopen.
The damage is considerable, said a spokesman for the Radisson Hotel Group on Monday.
'The hotel will be closed for a long time.
Exactly how long will be determined together with experts and the owner of the building.«
A hotel guest and a staff member were slightly injured in Friday's incident.
"We offer the injured guest and our colleague our full support and wish them a speedy recovery," the spokesman said.
Early on Friday morning, the 16 meter high Aquadom aquarium with 1,500 fish burst in the hotel on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße.
As a result, a million liters of water poured out of the destroyed acrylic glass cylinder into the hotel and onto the street.
The guests were then taken to another hotel.
At least six other shops in the building complex were damaged.
The search for the cause is ongoing.
