Relive the bygone era of Nepal’s history
Hotel Shanker, Kathmandu is a heritage hotel, housed in a 19th-century palace within walking distance to Thamel and Durbar Marg,
Kathmandu's tourist hubs. It was the royal residence of the rulers of Nepal from 1894 until 1964, when it was converted into a
Luxury Hotel. The facade was kept intact but the interiors were redesigned to give travellers the kind of comfort they'd expect of
a world class hotel. The hotel is characterised by exquisite and authentic objects d'art. For example, the carved windows displayed
in the lobby bar are over 200 years old.
