The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024

Eriro, Ehrwald, Austria

Eriro showcases the beauty of the Tyrolean Alps through sustainability, simplicity, and biophilic principles. The nine-suite building, for example, is crafted from locally sourced materials, including stone, wood, and hand-knotted sheep wool, minimizing its carbon footprint, while the natural patina of the surfaces allow the structure to transform with its environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the majestic surroundings, embracing the fragility of the landscapes.
