A hotel celebrating all things Marvel has opened at Disneyland Paris.

Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is now welcoming visitors to 471 superior rooms, 65 Empire State Club rooms, and 25 suites dedicated to a host of superheroes, including Spider-Man and the Avengers.

The Spider-Man suites feature a ceiling design inspired by his web, while the Avengers suites celebrate the superheroes by referencing their costume or story in the room, such as modelling a chair after Captain America's outfit or Thor's realm of Asgard inspiring headboard for the bed.

The hotel is styled as a New York City art gallery and will showcase more than 350 artworks, including 50 exclusive pieces, by 110 artists from Europe and beyond, all celebrating Marvel and its superheroes.

Guests who enter the lobby are greeted by huge backlit comic panels as well as life-size Iron Man suits and famous Captain America shields.

Restaurants and bars also celebrate Marvel, with menu offerings inspired by New York specialities and a full range of Marvel-themed meals and drinks.

While the four-star hotel is located close to Disneyland Paris, there's plenty to do at the hotel itself.

There's a fitness centre, indoor and outdoor pools, and a Hero Training Zone, which is a 420-square-metre outdoor field with dedicated areas for a variety of sports activities, such as basketball or yoga.

Children can also take pictures at Marvel Hero Photo Stations to immerse them in a Marvel film setting, with Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor among the backdrops available. They can also visit the Marvel Design Studio, where little ones can learn how to be a Marvel comic book artist through tutorials and enjoy digital activities.

Guests will also get access to a free digital press library, which has more than 5,000 press titles from 100 countries that will be available in more than 60 languages.

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

Sun jukebox

Rufus Thomas, Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) (1953)

This rip-off of Leiber/Stoller’s early rock stomper brought a lawsuit against Phillips and necessitated Presley’s premature sale to RCA.

Elvis Presley, Mystery Train (1955)

The B-side of Presley’s final single for Sun bops with a drummer-less groove.

Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two, Folsom Prison Blues (1955)

Originally recorded for Sun, Cash’s signature tune was performed for inmates of the titular prison 13 years later.

Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes (1956)

Within a month of Sun’s February release Elvis had his version out on RCA.

Roy Orbison, Ooby Dooby (1956)

An essential piece of irreverent juvenilia from Orbison.

Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire (1957)

Lee’s trademark anthem is one of the era’s best-remembered – and best-selling – songs.
