La Zambra revives the glamour of the former Hotel Byblos beneath the hills of Mijas, pairing Andalusian calm with pools, gardens and a cocooning spa. The Rolling Stones were among the rock royalty who retreated to the same blue-towered property in its Byblos years, before its careful rebirth as La Zambra.
Copacabana Palace is Rio's enduring beachfront stage, where white-glove service, Atlantic light and the famous pool turn a stay into old-world theatre. The Rolling Stones used it as their base for the monumental 2006 Copacabana Beach concert, crossing to the stage through a purpose-built bridge from the hotel.
