Emergency services are rushing to an incident at a Central Dunedin Hotel where one person is seriously injured.

A police spokeswoman said they were attending an incident at Scenic Circle Hotel on Princes St.

A nearby resident told the Otago Daily Times they heard an "extremely" loud bang about 9am.

The noise sounded like something large hitting the ground.

A staff member at Scenic Circle Hotel told the ODT it was not willing to make a comment about the incident at this stage.
