Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu  

In the heart of Kathmandu, housed in a 19th-century palace and within walking distance of Thamel and Durbar Marg. A short drive lands you at Durbar Marg and Kathmandu Durbar Square, with major cultural sites like Pashupatinath and Boudhanath nearby. A centrally located, family-friendly base for exploring the city.

This former royal residence keeps its historic facade and mixes Victorian comfort with authentic objets d'art — carved windows in the lobby bar are over 200 years old. The hotel has 94 individually decorated rooms with minibars, refrigerators, 24" LCD TVs, private baths (tubs or showers), bathrobes and slippers. Quiet, elegant rooms make a peaceful retreat after Kathmandu's buzz.
