Ecorkhotel - Evora, Portugal
Designed by native architect Jose Carlos Cruz, the Ecorkhotel claims to be the first cork-clad hotel in the world. Aiming to resemble a traditional medieval village from the Alentejo region, the complex consists of the main building and 56 bungalow-style suites scattered among olive, holm and cork trees. The resort’s symmetric accommodation spaces are characterized by avant-garde design with refined lines, minimalist shapes and gleaming white walls. The main building comes with a series of leisure facilities, including spa, health club, gym, bar and restaurant, as well as fully-equipped conference rooms.
