About Polat Palandöken
Polat Palandöken carries the signature of the Istanbul design studio Autoban, with rooms from 32 m² Comfort rooms to the 110 m² Duplex Suite. It has its own chairlift, a 400-metre floodlit slope, the PLNDKN Sports Club with indoor pool, Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and massage, MOMO Après-Ski, the Kestane restaurant and Peak at 2,500 metres.
On Palandöken
Polat Palandöken stands on the mountain above Erzurum, about 15 minutes from the airport. Autoban redesigned it with rich textures and carefully curated spaces. The hotel has its own chairlift towards Ejder Tepesi, a large ski room and a 400-metre floodlit slope for skiing after dark.
PLNDKN Sports Club
The sports club is the hotel’s spa: an indoor pool, a Turkish bath, a sauna and a steam room, with a choice of massages and a gym. Altitude sports camps also use the hotel.

Rooms and suites
Comfort and Deluxe rooms measure 32 m², and Corner rooms 36 m² for up to three, all with mountain and city views. The Junior Duplex Suite has 75 m² on two levels, the King Suite 70 m² with a lounge and two bathrooms, the Family Suite 96 m² with two bedrooms for four, and the Duplex Suite 110 m², with the living room on the lower floor.
Eating and drinking
Kestane cooks Turkish and international dishes with local flavours, with buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. MOMO Après-Ski, noon–midnight, serves lunch between runs and turns into a sunset party with DJs on the snow deck. The Secret Bar is a warm, intimate bar for adults only. Up the mountain, Peak, at 2,500 metres, grills barbecue favourites 8am–4pm.
Families
GYMY Kids Club welcomes children aged 4–12, with paid babysitting for ages 4–10.
Our advice: book the Family Suite or a Duplex Suite, ski to Peak for lunch at 2,500 metres, and save the floodlit slope for your last evening.
