They assist with luggage storage and excursion arrangements.

Thamel Location Access

Located on the northern edge of Thamel, the hotel is a 4-minute walk from Thamel Centre. It's 1.5 km from Hanuman Dhoka, 1 km from Narayanhity Palace Museum and Garden of Dreams, and 2 km from Swayambhunath Temple (Monkey Temple). The area features mountaineering gear shops, money exchange booths, pubs, and Nepalese artifact stores.

Area Attractions & Transport

Nearby landmarks include Kathmandu Durbar Square (2.5 km) with its Golden Gate and Fifty Five Window Palace, Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. Thamel offers access to shops selling Tibetan artifacts, woodcarvings, and clothing. The concierge can arrange transportation and provide directions to local festivals and historical sites.

“A bit removed from Thamel's clamor, this property stands out with its vantage point, offering what I gather are striking city and mountain views; the in-house spa seems an obvious draw. I noted mentions of warmth from the staff, alongside reports of occasional friction around billing, which potential guests should be mindful of. For those prioritizing wellness and a degree of separation, it presents a compelling option.”
