Islamic extremist group ISIS, now has a luxury hotel. The self proclaimed "Islamic Caliphate" has refurbished the Ninawa International Hotel in Mosul, the northern Iraqi city under ISIS control. The 262 bed, five-star hotel, once voted the best place to stay in Iraq, has undergone an ISIS makeover. It has manicured gardens, freshly-polished marble floors and intense security patrol.

The bar and ballroom have been boarded up, as dancing, music, smoking or gambling are now prohibited in the hotel. All women must dress head-to-toe in black burqas.

Members of the group's notorious al-Khansaa brigade - its female police force - patrol the hotel grounds to ensure all guests are following strict Sharia laws. Patrons who fail to follow these laws risk amputation, or even beheading.

Pictures released by the group's propaganda ministry show workmen using tools to destroy intricate carvings on the hotel's facade.
