About this place Hotel Shanker - Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

Hotel Shanker occupies a 19th-century Rana-era palace in Lazimpat, Kathmandu, with ornate public rooms and gardens. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a spa, two restaurants, two bars and free Wi-Fi. It is a mainstream heritage hotel listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. Google reviews average 4.3 across about 3,300 ratings. Lazimpat is a quieter embassy district a short walk or cab ride from Thamel's restaurants and bars. Rooms vary in age and style between the palace wings, so check which category you are booking. Nepal is relatively open by regional standards, but public displays of affection are uncommon for any couple.

I attended my friend’s sister’s engagement and wedding at Shankar Hotel, and overall it was a very good experience. The venue was well arranged with elegant decorations and a proper setup for both events. Everything was managed in an organized way, and there was no confusion during the program. The food was good with a decent variety, and the service from the staff was attentive and professional throughout the function. They handled guests properly and made sure everything ran smoothly. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and the hotel is definitely suitable for hosting family functions and wedding events.

Service/ treatment to Foreigners is better than Indians. Place is calmer. Swimming pool and garden is cool to visitors after dinner or breakfast. Breakfast food is best quality.

Excellent hotel just steps from the center. Well-located, spacious rooms, adequate amenities, and competent, courteous, and always available staff. The outdoor relaxation area with pool is excellent. The indoor bar is very welcoming.
