Yak & Yeti is Kathmandu’s living heritage, crafted for the modern traveler

Step into Kathmandu’s Hotel Yak & Yeti, and you step into a story. Not just of luxury, but of legacy, where a 19th-century Rana palace meets the contemporary world of five-star indulgence. 

A Palace Turned Hotel

The beating heart of the Yak & Yeti is Lal Durbar Palace, once the opulent residence of a Rana prime minister. Built in the late 1800s, the palace was transformed into a luxury hotel in 1977. Step into its corridors and you’re greeted with antique chandeliers, carved windows, and restored halls that whisper stories of Kathmandu’s royal past. And then, seamlessly, you’ll find sleek architecture, polished finishes, and the comforts expected of a global luxury address. It’s this balance of old and new that makes the Yak & Yeti more than a hotel, it’s a living heritage.

Rooms with a Story

The hotel offers 241 rooms and suites, each designed to echo Nepali artistry while indulging the modern traveler. Think plush bedding, smart entertainment, high-speed internet, and bathrooms crafted for relaxation. Open the curtains, and the views are as varied as they are breathtaking – lush gardens, a shimmering pool, or the bustling Kathmandu skyline. For business, leisure, or a romantic getaway, the rooms offer not just a stay, but a setting.

Dining Icons of Kathmandu

Few hotels can boast dining with as much character. At Spice Room, Indian fine dining takes on a regal flair, with recipes that feel like a passage through the subcontinent. The Chimney, a Kathmandu institution since the 1960s, continues to charm with classics like the legendary Chicken Ala Kiev. Meanwhile, Lounge 77 brings a contemporary edge, mixing craft cocktails with conversation in a chic, social setting. Dining at Yak & Yeti isn’t simply about taste – it’s about tradition, atmosphere, and memory.

A Stage for Celebrations

The Lal Durbar Convention Centre (LDCC) is where grandeur meets function. Once the most elegant palace theatre in Kathmandu, it now hosts conferences, weddings, and gala events beneath a magnificent neo-classical roof. With nine distinct halls, each infused with historic character yet equipped with modern technology, LDCC redefines event hosting in Nepal. Here, history isn’t a backdrop – it’s the main stage.

An Oasis in the City

Step outside, and you’re in the heart of Kathmandu’s prestigious Durbar Marg. The bustle of Thamel, the sacred aura of Pashupatinath, and the grandeur of Kathmandu Durbar Square – all are just minutes away. Yet within the hotel’s walls, the Madhuban gardens offer serenity, the pool glistens in the sun, and the spa invites deep rejuvenation. Whether it’s a morning on the tennis court or an afternoon in the fitness center, the Yak & Yeti is as much a retreat as it is a hub.

A Legacy of Excellence

For over forty years, the Yak & Yeti has been the address of choice for royalty, dignitaries, celebrities, and travelers who expect more than just a place to rest their heads. It is hospitality rooted in heritage, polished by experience, and defined by its people – the team that ensures every guest feels like part of the story.

The Yak & Yeti Experience

To stay at Hotel Yak & Yeti is to feel Kathmandu itself – its history, its elegance, and its pulse. From the grand palace halls to the sparkle of a cocktail glass at Lounge 77, it is an experience that transcends travel. It’s heritage reimagined for the modern age, an invitation to not just witness Nepal’s legacy, but to live it.

Hotel Yak & Yeti isn’t just where you stay. It’s where Kathmandu becomes unforgettable.
