Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

10/10 Excellent
"Everything at Hotel Shanker is truly great. I really feel at home in this beautiful hotel. The staff are magnificent and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The architecture of this old historical palace is stunning. The entrance and lobby is so beautiful and great for photos. The garden in front is wonderful and the pool is terrific. I highly recommend staying at Hotel Shanker. It’s the only place I stay when visiting Kathmandu. I’m already looking forward to a return visit!! Thank you Hotel Shanker for treating me so well and giving me such great memories and photos!!"

You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar.

Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the popular amenities found at a contemporary hotel will also be available in a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Kathmandu, don't worry that you'll be staying at a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
