New Concept

Being a 100% natural product, cork is the most important element in the main building, as well as the envolving landscape. Ecorkhotel uses cork as its coating, becoming one of the rare examples of buildings in the world who have this feature and the first to do so in the hospitality sector. Using cork in the exterior part of the building, works as a thermic and acoustic isolator and allows for an exceptional energetic efficiency as well as a natural touch to the building itself. The hotel was planned and built having maximum energetic efficiency in mind. To do so, it uses geothermal energy to heat the main building and swimming pools and solar panels to heat the water used throughout he hotel and both swimming pools.

The architectural design is by José Carlos Cruz (Architect)
