alcoves

There are plenty of cozy spaces to hide away at this Moorish-style hotel, with stunning casbah-inspired alcoves in the lobby, a library with a fireplace, and Spanish tapas and more at the wine bar Más.

The room unfolded; cozy alcoves held luxurious cushions and curious visitors.

After they said prayers for each victim, the white-shrouded bodies were carefully lowered into two deep trenches and put into alcoves that had been carved out at the bottom on the sides.

Inside, families sleep tucked into a series of alcoves lit by a kerosene lamp, keeping their belongings on shelves carved from the rock.
