LUXURY HOTELS EUROPE
This sumptuously illustrated, beautifully produced book inaugurates a four volume series on hotels that offer the best in style, service, and design - on the most luxurious hotels in the world! Whether traditional or modern, luxury need not be defined in terms of richly decorated formality. The European hotels featured in these pages, both the well established names and the hidden gems, have been chosen for their distinctive architecture and the tastefulness and simplicity of their interior design.
MOORISH ARCHITECTURE IN...
Spain owes her special historical position in Europe very largely to her intensive encounter with the Orient. In the summer of 710, a small force under the command of a Berber named Tarîf ibn Mâlik landed to the west of Gibraltar. The Islamic armies that followed in its wake succeeded in conquering large areas of Spain within a short span of years. The conquerors gave the country the name of al-andalus. Thus began a period of cultural permeation that was to last for almost 800 years.
