The Shanker Hotel is an entirely new, exciting, and exotic world, the old world elegance only found in a few "great" hotels around the world. Unlike the usual chain hotels familiar to the world's tourists, the Shanker, a former palace of the ruling elite of old Nepal, maintains and cherishes its position as a grand beauty of unmistakable class. It is 8 kms from airport and 1 km from down town.

The rooms and Kailash Hall of the Hotel Shanker are a traveler's and conferee's delight. These rooms have witnessed the births of two royal personages and have made memorable the visits of hundreds of others.

Air-conditioning and heating takes the nip away from winter and keeps you comfortably cool in summer. The beds are inviting; the décor reflects the sights and the feel of Kathmandu valley. A meal, a drink and room service are just a telephone call away. The bathrooms have been designed with your comfort in mind.

You can dine in either Kailash or any of the other restaurants and bars at Hotel Shanker. Chandeliers, carved ceiling, intricately worked walls, bejeweled mirrors and piped music provide an opulent backdrop to meals prepared for you by chefs trained in the art and the art and intricacies of Continental, Chinese, Indian and Nepalese cuisine. Every meal at Hotel Shanker is a celebration.

At Kunti Bar you can sip away a variety of drinks in an atmosphere enriched by stout wooden beams, carved pillars, intricately carved Nepalese windows and good, old fashioned Nepalese bonhomie.

You can host a party, hold a conference, or just plain luxuriate in the two spacious, well-furnished rooms that are yours when you book a suite at Shanker. A little more expensive, perhaps, but a Shanker suite is a lot more luxurious.

The lobby, exotic, warm, inviting, spacious and comfortable is a pleasant indication of its quality service. You are swiftly, efficiently and courteously served at the desk.
