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. Ninety four luxury rooms, ten
suites, two restaurants, two bars, a
swimming pool, a coffee shop,
four-channel music, spa going on
progress 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!
Overview
The rooms and Kailash Hall of the Hotel
Shanker are a traveler's and conferee's
delight. Our 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 decor reflects the sights
and the feel of Kathmandu Valley. A
meal, a drink and room service are just
a telephone call away.
The bathroom of Hotel Shanker has 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
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 our quality service. You
are swiftly, efficiently and courteously
served at the desk and should you have
any travel problems at all, the hotel
offers you the service of its very own
travel agency. Knotty schedules are
unentangled, connections are made, seats
are booked and traveling tensions are
eased.
