The Shanker Hotel

Hotel Shanker is a palace; a palace built at the turn of the century by a Rana Maharaja with a penchant for French architecture, international cuisine and Eastern hospitality. It was converted into a hotel in 1964. The facade and traditions were kept intact but the interior was redesigned to give travelers the kind of comfort they'd expect of a world-class hotel.

You live in a palace when you live with us. 94 luxury rooms, 12 suites, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, a coffee shop, 60 Channel Cable LCD TV, and around the clock room service welcome you. You are waited on attentively but never obtrusively; your every need is anticipated and you are treated with the kind of royal attention that will make your stay an unforgettable one! As you walk into the lobby of Kathmandu's palatial Shanker Hotel, you enter an entirely new exciting and exotic world, the old world elegance only found in a few 'great' hotels around the world characterized by exquisite and authentic objects d'art.

The Shanker Hotel is truly a Heritage hotel with a history. Located only 5 minutes from “The pulse of the city” - Durbar Marg and Thamel, it is easily accessible to the major business institutions, diplomatic enclaves and tourist hubs.
