Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha by IHG  

Tucked into the foothills of the Shivapuri forest in Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, this family-friendly resort sits between leafy woods and city skyline views. It’s about 35 minutes’ drive from Tribhuvan International Airport and under 30 minutes to downtown, with Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park (0.3 km), Budhanilkantha Temple (1.4 km) and Jamchen Vijaya Stupa (2 km) right nearby.

The resort has 103 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, memory-foam beds topped with down comforters, and rainfall showerheads. Rooms come with complimentary wireless internet and satellite TV, and many overlook either the lush forest or the city—quiet, roomy, and family-friendly.

Pamper yourself at the on-site spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or hit the health club, gym, sauna and steam room. There’s an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a kids’ club and picnic area, plus concierge services, gift shops and free self-parking to keep things easy.

Event-ready with a conference center and three meeting rooms, the resort also offers 24-hour front desk service, multilingual staff, laundry/dry cleaning and complimentary wireless internet for guests.

Cafe Nagarjuna serves local and international dishes and doubles as a coffee shop and bar/lounge. Guests can also order 24-hour room service, sip at the poolside bar, and enjoy full breakfasts daily (6:30–10:30 AM for a fee).
