Thamel Eco Resort

Kathmandu


A complex set back from the road, it has fresh modern rooms of varying size placed around a pleasant central stupa courtyard decorated with carved wood and Newari brick. A good breakfast buffet and central location are a bonus and the hotel is building Nepal's first craft beer bar, with ales imported from Colorado. Rates include breakfast and tax.

This place is popular with trekking groups and so can feel crowded when it's full. Reception can put you in touch with a yoga teacher for a private class at the hotel.
