It took the daredevil around an hour to climb the front of the building and reach the roof to the cheers of spectators below.

However, a team of police and hotel workers were waiting for him on the roof when he finished his climb.

Reaching the top of the building, he turned around and put his arms in the air as the crowd gave him a round of applause.

Urban was accompanied through the hotel by officials before exiting to the applause of around 30 people waiting for him outside.

The City Council said that the hotel did not suffer any damage during Urban's ascent and that it is still closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, the daredevil will reportedly receive a fine for flying a drone in the city centre.

It is not the first time the influencer has scaled a tall building without climbing equipment.

He climbed to the top floor of the Eiffel Tower in Paris back in 2015. At a height of 906 feet, it is his record so far.

In November last year, he climbed the 145-metre tall Torre Glories, formerly known as Torre Agbar, in Barcelona.

French YouTuber Leo Urban has been doing parkour barefoot for around 15 years

Urban said: 'I prepared for it for three years. I always work a lot beforehand to prepare for a climb.

'I've been doing parkour barefoot for around 15 years, like I do in nature. I train in trees and mountains while barefoot.'

He added: 'Doing something like this means challenging your fears and pursuing your dreams through hard work. It is priceless.

'It is important to remind yourself that you can leave your comfort zone to pursue your dreams without fear.

'Not everybody needs to climb a building to do it, but everyone has their potential and we need to make the most of it.'

Despite his recent fine, the climber said that the police are always cordial and friendly with him.
