A Threshold Between Nature and Leisure
Nestled at the foothills of Mount Erciyes, Radisson Blu Lake Erciyes Hotel is conceived as a retreat balancing high-altitude serenity with recreational access. Its proximity to the ski trails and unbroken sightlines toward the mountain peaks positions the hotel as a transitional zone between sport and stillness offering visitors a dual experience of energy and calm.
Architecture in Dialogue with Landscape
The architecture embraces the sloped terrain, with low-rise volumes that settle into the landscape without interrupting the panoramic views. Carefully positioned openings and stepped terraces establish direct visual continuity with the surrounding topography. The design ensures that each room becomes a frame for the mountain, reinforcing a sense of immersion within nature.
Spatial Simplicity, Material Clarity
Designed with a modern and restrained material palette, the hotel prioritizes comfort through simplicity. Natural textures such as timber, stone, and neutral-toned surfaces are used to echo the earth-tones of the site. Public and private spaces are organized around calm, contemplative circulation axes inviting slow movement and visual rest.
A Destination for Ski and Stillness
While integrated with Erciyes’ ski tourism infrastructure, the hotel is equally geared toward guests seeking restorative stays. The architectural language supports this dual function: it offers active interfaces near entry and ski access zones, while the lakeside-facing volumes shift toward quietude and repose. This balance transforms the hotel into a seasonal sanctuary, responsive to both adventure and introspection.
