The main building material of the hotel is wood; The same native raw material that reminds of the ancient tradition of “Nordic” architecture. The interior with light wood colors gives a sense of warmth and simplicity; While the exterior with a dark coating of wood creates an eye-pleasing contrast. The overall combination is modern and intimate at the same time, a balance between the feel of a cottage and the comfort of a luxury residence.

All the roofs are covered with natural grass so that the building can be immersed in the view of the Golden Road, the Alps and the surrounding nature. There are many indoor and outdoor common spaces in the complex, all of which have a spectacular view. The high and coastal location of the hotel also provides natural light and ventilation in a smart way.

At first, Evina Hotel was the only restaurant and venue for events; But with the increasing demand for overnight accommodation, it was decided to expand it. Since the restaurant was the starting point of the hotel idea, preserving the panoramic view was important for old customers; For this reason, the reception area, the conference hall and the rooms were placed on the lower level of the slope.

The lower floors of the hotel are accessible by elevator and are connected by an underground corridor that is in harmony with the curve of the hill. The design of the complex, although adapted to the natural environment with exemplary precision, but with a new expression in form and space, has given a new quality to the landscape and made it more than a simple companionship with nature.
