NEPAL – Hilton has announced the grand opening of Hilton Kathmandu, marking the leading hospitality company’s foray into Nepal. 

Located in the heart of the Kathmandu Valley, the hotel is in Naxal, just four kilometers from Tribhuvan International Airport and minutes away from tourist attractions such as Thamel and Durbar Marg—considered to be the heart of the city—making it an ideal base for both business and leisure travellers. 

Owned and developed by the Shanker Group, this stunning property represents a significant milestone in Hilton’s robust growth and expansion in the Indian subcontinent. 

Nepal enjoys a high travel demand and is extremely popular among consumers looking for adventure, religious, and cultural getaways.

Hilton Kathmandu seamlessly blends Nepal’s rich heritage with contemporary design. As the tallest hotel in Kathmandu and the only one with a glass facade, it offers breathtaking views of the Langtang Valley’s mountain ranges. 

The rooms, from elegant abodes to spacious presidential suites, are inspired by the city’s prayer flags, symbolizing peace and compassion. The facade showcases vertical glass fins that change color with light, while intricate traditional Nepali Dhaka fabric patterns adorn staff uniforms, the lobby, and other guest areas. 

The striking design maximizes mountain views with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that bathe the hotel in natural light.

 Award-winning architectural features are incorporated throughout the building, such as the cantilevered entrance, temperature-controlled rooftop pool, and all-day dining outlet. Panoramic vistas showcase Nepal’s natural landscapes and cityscape.

Beyond its proximity to Tribhuvan International Airport, Hilton Kathmandu enjoys excellent access to the Thamel district. This central location places guests within walking distance of an array of cafes, pubs, gaming hubs, and entertainment venues. 

As part of Hilton’s commitment to sustainability, Hilton Kathmandu incorporates eco-friendly practices, aiming to reduce its environmental footprint while delivering thoughtful guest experiences. 

The hotel offers environmentally friendly amenities, including two EV Charging Stations and a green fleet of electric vehicles. The property’s seismic-resilient building infrastructure is equipped with German technology shock absorbers, ensuring a secure stay for all guests.

Hilton Kathmandu is a part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty program for Hilton’s 24 distinct hotel brands. 

Hilton Honors members who book directly through preferred Hilton channels have access to instant benefits, including a flexible payment slider that allows members to choose nearly any combination of Points and money to book a stay, an exclusive member discount, and free standard Wi-Fi.
